On behalf of the Governance Committee , I would like to thank all applicants and congratulate all those who have been selected for a scholarship .
The following are student responses addressing the questions : What impact have teachers had in your life ? Who is your greatest role model ? What is your greatest achievement ? If you could compare yourself to an animal , what animal would that be ?

ARTA-TW Insurance Degree Scholarships

$ 5,000 J ’ ANA SMITH
My greatest role model is my grandma . She immigrated as a child to Alberta , and had to adjust to a new language and culture while living in very humble circumstances during the Great Depression . Despite many challenges , my grandma lived her ninety-two years full of joy , finding the positive , and helping others . She was loved dearly by family and friends .
$ 5,000 EMILY HAWS
My mom is my greatest role model . She exemplifies what it means to love people well , putting others ’ needs before her own and making everyone she encounters feel seen and heard . She empowers me daily to chase my dreams and conquer my fears . Throughout my entire life , she has walked alongside me , wiping away many tears and helping me up after I fail .
$ 3,000 TAMMIE ROY
One of my greatest achievements is still to come . It will be the completion of my communications degree next year . As a mature student out of school for many decades , I have maintained an “ A ” average while working full-time and attending school full-time . While it has been one of my most challenging experiences , it has also been one of the most gratifying .
