Jessica Moras and Shuvam Prasai are the recipients of the 2020 Founders’ Bursary Awards.
The Founders’ Bursary Awards were established in 1995 and recognize excellence in scholastic achievement, outstanding leadership, and a commitment to the community. The Bethany Care Foundation provides funding for the bursaries, through the generosity of donors. Over the years, Bethany has awarded $72,000 to 48 young people (including this year’s recipients).
Jessica is the daughter of Anita D’Souza, one of our Unit Clerks at Bethany Riverview. She graduated from the Foundations for the Future Charter Academy High School and is currently in her first year of a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Calgary. Jessica’s career goals are to obtain a Bachelor of Science Degree with a major in chemistry and to study medicine at the Cumming School of Medicine.
Shuvam is the son of Sarala Subedi one of our Health Care Aides (HCA) at Bethany Riverview. After a challenging few years transitioning to Canada, he achieved ‘Top Academic Student of the Year’ for Grade 10 & 11 at Nelson Mandela High School. Shuvam has been accepted to the University of Calgary to study a Bachelor of Health Sciences with a major in biomedical sciences.
Congratulations to both Jessica and Shuvam. We wish you the best in your future endeavours!
