CSSA Scholarship Foundation Winners for 2007
In 2007, the CSSA Scholarship Foundation received over 500 applications from young Canadians. Each and every candidate had excellent credentials and the Scholarship Foundation Board of Directors faced a difficult challenge when selecting the final winners. Each of the following candidate excelled academically, socially and politically while in school, and contributed to their community with dedication much beyond the standard requirements of today. In addition, each essay on “Pandemic Preparedness” was unique, well researched and extremely well written.
