2018 Scholarship Winners
Nathaniel Loman, Victoria
$3000 ARTA–TW Insurance Degree Scholarship
I am stunned and humbled to be off ered this scholarship. I pride myself
on my eff orts to excel academically and to give back to my community,
and it’s wonderful to fi nd that people not only appreciate these eff orts
but support them in such a concrete way. This is exactly the shot in the
arm that I’ll need in these coming terms, as it will lighten my fi nancial
burdens and let me focus on my classes. It’s especially meaningful to me
that this scholarship is being granted by retired teachers: who better to
appraise the worth of a student?
Alexa McMillan, Edmonton
$2000 ARTA–TW Insurance Degree Scholarship
I am very proud and honoured to have been selected as a recipient of
the 2018 ARTA–TW Insurance Degree Scholarship. This scholarship
will support me as I continue my undergraduate studies in commerce at
Saint Mary’s University. It will also allow me to continue to play varsity
hockey, so that I may focus fully on my academic and athletic pursuits,
without having to work during the school year. Coming from a family of
teachers, I have learned to appreciate the value of education. I feel very
fortunate to have the opportunity to pursue both of my passions with the
help of this scholarship.

by this scholarship, I am attending law school then pursuing a career in
social entrepreneurship.
