Write about one of the current student issues you selected above. share why advocating for this issue is important to you:
“Advocating for Financial Support through Scholarships, Bursaries, and Awards is fundamental to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their financial background. I firmly believe that education is a powerful equalizer, one that unlocks potential and fuels both personal growth and community innovation. However, rising tuition fees and the increasing cost of living have created barriers that can hinder even the most capable and dedicated students from achieving their academic dreams. Throughout my time at Sheridan College, I have seen firsthand how financial constraints can impact a student’s academic journey. I have witnessed talented peers struggle to balance work and study, their potential often curtailed by the constant pressure of financial insecurity. This reality has instilled in me a deep commitment to advocating for more robust financial support programs. Scholarships, bursaries, and awards do more than ease the burden of tuition; they empower students to focus on learning, contribute to campus life, and pursue excellence without the distraction of economic hardship. Investing actively in community development through financial support plays a key role in championing these initiatives for me. Educational support should be available to all students without discrimination against their family origins. These programs fulfill crucial needs whereas their public announcement demonstrates our institution stands by its dedication to diversity along with equity and inclusion principles. Our effort to reduce financial burdens creates an academic environment that lets potential and inventive ideas prosper which will produce future leadership responsible for driving beneficial transformations. My dedication to this purpose stems from my conviction that every talented student should have access to education despite financial hurdles. The college under my charge will maintain merit-based recognition while providing all students with needed resources to become successful members of our entire community.”
