“As long as there is love and memory, there is no true loss”
Dr. Banwait will be providing a $500 scholarship to a student graduating from grade 12. The deadline for the application is May 31 of each school year.
“I am forever thankful for all the opportunities that I have had because of the sacrifices my parents made in their lives. They left behind their own homes, family and friends to come to Canada so their children would have a better future. My parents inspired me in many different ways to become the person I am. My mother gave me strength to overcome obstacles no matter how big or small. Her ability to smile and enjoy the small moments in life, despite being in a wheelchair, will be something that I will always remember. My father passed on his strong work ethic, his love for education and learning to me. Education has become a cornerstone of my life and my love of learning continues to this day thanks to my dad.”- Dr. Datinder Banwait
You will be required to provide a response (approximately 500 words) on the application. The successful candidate will show commitment to pursuing further post-secondary education.
