Student Testimonials

Sharifa Sidhu

I am grateful that there are donors that give to students, like me. As a new mom, I was able to use my parental leave as an opportunity to network, volunteer and participate in specific early childhood education workshops. This award assisted me in being able to access those opportunities that I would otherwise be struggling to fund. Thank you again for supporting me in my future aspirations.

- Sharifa Sidhu, Honours Bachelor of Child Development


Irtaza Shah

Growing up in a Toronto Community Housing residence, the struggle to make ends meet were constantly there; therefore, this award means a lot. Thanks to your generosity, I can now afford to purchase the Adobe Creative Cloud program in order to complete my portfolio and begin searching for a job in my field. This award is more income than I make in one month of working as an on-call security guard. Thank you so much.

Orly Sharma

I am truly thankful for receiving this award. Seneca has supported me since the very beginning of my studies and has given me a lot of encouragement, even in difficult times. It was not easy for me to go back to school while juggling full-time work, raising and educating my three children and putting nursing studies among my first priorities. Thank you again for the outreach and support you have provided.
