$3,000 ARTA–TW Insurance Degree Scholarship
I would like to thank each of the teachers in my life who have pushed me to be the best
version of myself and provided unwavering support.
In the next ten years I hope to complete my Bachelor of Science in Nursing program and
be practising as a full-time registered nurse. Through my career, I hope to positively aff ect
the life of every patient I encounter.
Outside of career ambitions, I hope to create a home where everyone feels both secure
and loved every single day. Throughout my childhood, I developed an appreciation for an
agricultural lifestyle. As a result, I hope to reside with my family in a rural setting and aim
to remain involved with our family farm in whatever ways possible.

I always enjoyed math in school because it challenged me, and I knew it was an essential
area of knowledge for life.
In ten years, I hope to be a chartered professional accountant using my knowledge of
fi nances to help educate people on the importance of fi nancial literacy.
If I could be a superhero, I would be Superman because he was given multiple powers
but uses them to help people.
ZACHARY COUTURE
$2,000 ARTA–TW Insurance Degree Scholarship
I am interested in many subjects and enjoy learning new things. As a Franco-Albertan,
high school French class allowed me to explore and embrace my cultural and linguistic
heritage. I owe a lot to my high school French teacher, who was an amazingly gifted and
inspiring teacher and created opportunities to work in French in Montreal.
Currently in my second year at McGill University, I am pursuing a joint honours BA in
Political Science and Middle East Studies. I hope to follow this by studying Law with a
focus on human rights. As the grandson of a refugee, I have seen up close how newcomers
and their children are undeniably vital to Canadian society.

$5,000 ARTA Certifi cate/Diploma Scholarship
I have been extremely fortunate to have amazing grandparents who are now retired from
teaching and are ARTA members. They showed me how to enjoy taking on new things
and that being challenged is important. I had the most amazing teachers growing up who
helped me do well and kept me focused. To this day, my teachers track us down to ask us
how we are doing.
In ten years, I see myself owning a brewery that supports my family and the community.
It’s important for me to give back to the community that supported me so well growing up.
I want to be seen as a respected brewmaster, with a growing brewery that prides itself on
quality and delivering customers locally sourced beer.
