A student at UCC in Chatham has been recognized for his hard work in the classroom.
Elliot Vince has been named one of the winners of the prestigious Schulich Leadership Scholarship worth $100,000, the largest undergrad scholarship in the country.
“Elliott Vince has upheld a high standard of academic excellence, maintaining final averages of 95% or higher every year, while balancing part-time employment and many extracurricular activities,” says Lisa Harnarine, Principal of Ursuline College. “Elliott has consistently demonstrated an outstanding work ethic, time management and organizational skills throughout his years at UCC.”
One hundred scholarships are given out each year to STEM students, going on to study science, technology, engineering or math. In Vince’s case, he plans to take computers at Queens University.
“I am honoured to receive the Schulich Leader Scholarship,” Vince says. “So many people have helped me reach this point – my parents, sister, family, friends, teachers, mentors, and countless others, to whom I am beyond grateful. Ultimately, this is a blessing, so I will use everything I learn and acquire from this incredible opportunity to positively change the world.”
