Scholarship

I am currently the Scholarship Director for the Toronto Chapter. As a past NEWHinc. Clifford Tuttle Scholarship recipient, the scholarship position held a special place in my heart as it has allowed me to give back to other students as the organization did for me. My career would not have been what it is today without NEWHinc. and for that, I will be forever grateful.
