Congratulations to the recipients of the Shad Entrance Scholarships for Indigenous Students!

Shad is committed to identifying young leaders who embody the willingness to go the mile for their community in an impactful way, and for overall excellence. These students inspire those around them through their changemaker capabilities and will continue to have a positive impact as they use their passion for STEAM to drive change. 

We had a chance to catch up with these future community builders to hear what they are looking forward to at Shad and into the future.  Akemi is excited to meet new friends and explore how STEAM can be used to solve real-world problems. Ewen hopes to put his skills to use as an optometrist, helping people maintain an important aspect of their health. Naja plans to pursue a career in health sciences to help create healthy communities. Adeline can’t wait to explore opportunities and gain insights into different careers this summer.
