$ 2,000 ARTA – TW Insurance Degree Scholarship I am honoured and thrilled to have been selected for the ARTA – TW Insurance Degree Scholarship . This award will go a long way towards supporting my fourth year of undergraduate studies . Financial support like this allows me to focus on my studies and stay involved in both my campus and local communities . After I complete my undergraduate degree , I plan to pursue graduate studies in theatre . I want to investigate the ways that storytelling and performance intersect with society and how they can be used to promote positive social change .
Coming from a family of teachers , I ’ ve learned to appreciate how truly valuable education is . I would like to thank the Alberta Retired Teachers ’ Association for providing me with this generous support .

$ 2,500 ARTA Certificate / Diploma Scholarship Thank you for choosing me to be a recipient of the ARTA Certificate / Diploma Scholarship . Your generous scholarship means a lot to my family and to me because it pays for nearly a quarter of all my post-secondary schooling costs . We are grateful for this significant financial relief .
I am currently taking Power Engineering Technology at SAIT , which is a two-year diploma program with a heavy focus on thermodynamics and how to operate boilers and large steam systems through hands-on learning .
As for my future ambitions , I plan on working as a power engineer in the oil and gas industry operating boilers and steam plants , although I am not limited to that industry . It is impossible to say for sure what my future holds ; however , with a post-secondary education in a trade that I enjoy , I am open to any opportunities that may arise following my graduation .
