Schulich Leader Scholarships 2021
In July, Queen鈥檚 introduced the new Schulich Leaders who will arrive on campus this fall. The 10 future leaders are all enrolled in STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and math).
The , worth up to $100,000, was launched in 2012 by Canadian businessman and philanthropist Seymour Schulich to help identify the next generation of Canada鈥檚 brightest potential leaders in STEM.
Prestigious Schulich Leader Scholarships provide backing for innovative and entrepreneurial-minded youth to change the world through their passion for STEM. The scholarships remove students鈥 financial burdens and allow them to focus their energy on their studies.
This year, The Schulich Foundation is celebrating the program鈥檚 10th anniversary. Up to 100 scholarships are awarded annually across 20 partner universities. Queen鈥檚 has hosted Schulich Leaders every year over the past decade and a total of 46 Schulich Leaders have studied at Queen鈥檚 since the program began in 2012.
鈥淚t鈥檚 gratifying that this important and meaningful investment in the future of Canada is off to a strong start. Schulich Leaders will be the engine that drives prosperity for our country. We look forward to supporting exceptional students pursuing their STEM education for many years to come,鈥 says program founder Seymour Schulich.
To celebrate 10 years of Schulich Leaders at Queen鈥檚, we connected with some current and past scholarship recipients to learn how the Schulich Leader Scholarships have had an impact on their studies and careers, as well as their plans for innovating in the STEM world.
鈥淧ersonally, it (receiving the Schulich Leader Scholarship) completely changed the trajectory of my life. There鈥檚 nothing else I could have received that would鈥檝e changed my life in the same way. It was such a unique inflection point for me鈥 said Isabel Hazan, a 2016 Schulich Leader who received $80,000. 鈥淚 think creating a program with a specific goal of fostering young entrepreneurial energy in Canada and keeping it here is a really worthwhile endeavour.鈥
