2018 Scholarship Winners
Ryan Borman, Calgary
$1500 ARTA Certificate/Diploma Scholarship
I am so grateful for this award as it will help my fi nancial situation and
relieve some of the stress that goes with attending school. It means a lot
that your organization believes in me and is willing to support my future.
This scholarship will help get me through the Geographic Information
Systems course I am currently attending at SAIT, thus allowing me
to combine all my previous education and move on to a unique and
exciting career. My goal is to work in the surveying industry with the new
technologies and their applications toward GIS. I don’t know exactly what my future holds, but I do
know it will be bright and full of opportunity.
Faridae Mody, Edmonton
$1000 ARTA Certificate/Diploma Scholarship
It is exciting and gratifying to have been awarded a scholarship by the
ARTA committee. This prize money will mainly be put toward my dance
studio—the Freedom School of Dance—to help cover costs as the studio
begins its fi rst full season.
Within my studio, I aim to create an environment where children will not
only learn and grow but also become confi dent, well-rounded individuals.
As the studio owner, I am taking Business Management at MacEwan
University to ensure that I am just as knowledgeable in running my business as I am in teaching my
students. Operating my studio successfully will only make (positively) infl uencing my students that
much easier. Thank you, ARTA, for supporting my professional ambitions!
Renelle Hantelmann, Edmonton
$1000 ARTA Certificate/Diploma Scholarship
I am very honoured and thankful to be chosen as one of the ARTA
Certifi cate/Diploma Scholarship recipients. Currently, I am in my fi nal
year of a respiratory therapy program, and I will be using the skills I have
learnt from school in rotations at hospitals and clinics around Alberta. It is
rewarding to help people recover from long-term illnesses so that they can
return to a better quality of life.
This scholarship will help me save for opportunities in which I will
be able to educate those I am working with, including the patients. After completing the program,
I would like to travel abroad with a missions group to practise in developing countries around the
world. I aspire to share my skills and knowledge with those who do not have the same opportunities
in healthcare as we do, so that more people will have the knowledge and ability to provide the best
practiced therapies for those suff ering from illnesses. ●
