Foster Children Bursary Application

2012 Storwell Bursary Winner

January 10th, 2013

Storwell Self Storage Toronto is proud to announce that Tara Steliga is the winner of the Storwell Scholarship for 2012. Tara is studying at Brandon University and is working towards a degree in Physics and Chemistry.

The selection process to decide a winner of the scholarship was an onerous task as so many of the applicants were extremely deserving and showed through their volunteer and work experience to be worthy of consideration, so much so that we expanded the awards to include five consolation prizes to try in our small way to address the need and the challenge of helping foster children get the support they need to realize their educational goals.

Tara stood out among those that we have seen in the applications. She has high hopes of obtaining a master’s as well as a PhD in either Chemistry or Physics after her education at Brandon University. Tara supports herself by working at the university as a teaching assistant, as well as doing research in the Department of Chemistry. In addition, Tara volunteers whenever she can at the university’s Observatory and the Brandon Humane Society.

2012 RUNNER-UP PRIZE winners:

Desirae Gilberds Confederation College

Habiba Abudu York University

Simran Sangha Kwantlen Polytechnic University
