"Thank you so much for awarding me this scholarship! I hope to eventually complete a masters in physiotherapy, and the aid provided by the BDM scholarship is enabling me to focus on school, rather than stressing about money to pay for my tuition. I have another two years left until I finish my undergraduate degree, and the generosity of this scholarship is greatly appreciated. Thank you, UFCW Canada!”
