2018 Scholarship Winners ARTA Certificate/Diploma Scholarships Misty Featherley, Morinville $2500 ARTA Certificate/Diploma Scholarship I am so proud to be a recipient of the 2018 ARTA Scholarship award. It is such an honour for me. Not only will the award help to pay my student loans, it has given me a sense of pride and accomplishment. The decision to go back to school was diffi cult for me knowing that it would impact my family the most. With the support of my husband and family, I have been able to return to school and prove to our children that education is always important no matter what the age. The scholarship will lower the fi nancial impact on my family and is also an acknowledgment that my hard work and dedication have been noticed. This motivates me every day to keep passionate about furthering my education. Thank you so much to ARTA for providing this scholarship award. It is an amazing benefi t for both myself and my family and a sense of pride. Anna Buchanan, Lethbridge $1500 ARTA Certificate/Diploma Scholarship My ambition in life is to help others improve each dimension of wellness in their lives —physical, mental, emotional. This scholarship will assist me in earning my Exercise Science diploma. My goal is to use my education to work in the fi tness industry, helping others on their individual wellness journeys. I want to help individuals of all ages, from kids in their fundamental stages to working with the elderly, through mentoring, teaching, and coaching. I have a passion for health and wellness and love learning. I fi nd my education and future career path fascinating and I can’t wait to share my knowledge with others. Receiving this scholarship will allow me to have the means needed to fi nish my diploma, opening many doors when it comes to helping others, future career opportunities, and furthering my education in a more specifi ed area. news&views WINTER 2018 | 25
