Three members of our Shad alumni community — Eniola Atoyebi (Shad2024), Daniela Grottoli (Shad2025), and Ifechi Okwuagwu (Shad2024) — have been named Wolf Scholars at the University of Toronto, and we couldn’t be more proud.

The Wolf Scholars Program is one of Canada’s most immersive undergraduate scholarship programs, selecting just 16 exceptional incoming students each year from across U of T’s Faculty of Arts & Science. Recipients receive a full tuition scholarship and living stipend, along with four years of enrichment programming designed to sharpen critical thinking, foster intellectual curiosity across disciplines, and build the leadership skills needed to tackle their generation’s most pressing challenges.
