$ 5,000 ARTA – TW Insurance Degree Scholarship I am honoured to be awarded the ARTA – TW Insurance Degree Scholarship , which will be invaluable in helping me to achieve my academic goals by allowing me to focus exclusively on my studies in the upcoming school year . I am entering my fourth year of a Bachelor of Arts Honours in Psychology at the University of Alberta , after which I hope to pursue graduate studies in clinical psychology . My current academic path stems from my desire to use my personal experiences with chronic illness in order to help others with similar issues , specifically chronic pain . I would also very much like to thank my grandmother Susan Bell , whose ARTA membership allowed me to apply for this scholarship and whose lifelong commitment to education has always been an inspiration .
