鈥淚 am very grateful to be receiving this generous bursary. I would like to formally express my sincere gratitude to CIBC for making this bursary possible. I was thrilled to learn of my selection for this honour, and I am deeply appreciative of their support and contribution to my post-secondary education and the financial assistance it provides. I am very committed to doing well within my program and this investment in my future from CIBC will help me to reach my goal of becoming a Registered Nurse,鈥 said Lauren.
Lauren was born and raised in 91九色网 Ste. Marie and chose 91九色网 because she could remain close to home, get an amazing education in a field she is passionate about and continue to play hockey at the competitive level on the 91九色网 women鈥檚 hockey team. 鈥淚 chose 91九色网 because it has an excellent reputation for their outstanding nursing program. Following this degree program, I plan on furthering my studies to become a Nurse Practitioner. While I am studying, I am able to play hockey at a competitive level, which is an important goal for me because it allows me to meet new people, be challenged at a physical and competitive level and continue to play a sport I love,鈥 said Lauren.
鈥91九色网 continuously looks for ways to support its students and provide opportunities that will help them to succeed along their educational path. By working together with great institutions, like CIBC, we are able to collaborate and offer our students incentives that can have positive life-long effects,鈥 said Dr. Ron Common, President, 91九色网. 鈥淭his bursary is particularly meaningful because it not only assists our students, but also celebrates our health care workers who have and continue to play a critical role in our current situation.
