Delta Secondary student Nathan Reme has been awarded a $45,000 post-secondary scholarship with The Cmolik Foundation in recognition of his achievements in overcoming adversity and excelling in his studies.
The selection committee was impressed with Reme’s application, his academic goals and his future career aspirations. The award recognizes and honours Reme’s hard work and commitment with this financial award and is keen to support Reme pursuing interests in a degree in civil engineering.
“I hope to attain a Bachelors of Applied Science degree in Civil Engineering from UBC,” he said. “I selected this area of study due to my interest in understanding the way things work, which is something that has intrigued me since I was a child.”
The Cmolik Foundation believes in the power of education to transform a student’s life journey. In addition to providing students with the funding to realize their dreams, the Foundation provides students with a Mentor, a supportive community of scholarship peers and alumni, as well as access to ongoing special events and professional opportunities. Students become part of a larger community dedicated to their post-secondary success.
“Knowing Nathan over these last three years, I can truly say that he is one of the most mature, responsible, resilient, and hard-working students I have ever met,” said DSS counsellor Bryarley Gillis. “I believe Nathan is very deserving of this award and will excel in the post-secondary field.”
The Cmolik Foundation was founded in 2008 to provide opportunities for youth who have experienced adversity in their lives.
The Cmolik Foundation provides $45,000 scholarships to deserving students from across British Columbia. As well, the Foundation offers several $30,000 scholarships to deserving alumni to pursue graduate studies. The Foundation is also known for the SFU Cmolik $100,000 Prize for the Best Enhancement in Public Education.
