Meet Our Scholarship Recipients of 2024 & 2025

We are proud to introduce the students that receive Marie Robbins Scholarships for Winter 2025.

King Oluwapelumi Adedokun

My name is King Oluwapelumi Adedokun, and I am attending Mohawk College because
it offers a program I am deeply interested in—Practical Nursing. My goal is to become a
practical nurse and eventually a registered nurse so I can make a meaningful impact by
helping others. I am writing to sincerely thank you for your generous donation to the
Marie Robbins Scholarship Fund. I was very happy and appreciative to learn that I was
selected as the recipient.

I am currently in my second semester of the Pre-Health Sciences program at Mohawk
College and plan to enroll in Practical Nursing next semester. This scholarship will help
cover essential costs like tuition, pre-placement requirements (vaccinations, tests,
police check), and necessary materials (scrubs, medical supplies, textbooks). Thanks
to you, I am one step closer to my goal of becoming a nurse.

Receiving this award has helped reduce the financial barriers that come with a post-
secondary education. You have given me the ability to focus more on my studies, which

is the most important aspect of college. Your generosity has inspired me to help others
and give back to the community. I hope one day I will be able to help students achieve
their goals just as you have helped me.

focus more on my studies, which is the most important aspect of college. Your
generosity has inspired me to help others and give back to the community. I

Manpreet

I am writing to thank you for your generous donation to the [Marie Robbins Scholarship Fund]. I was so grateful and excited to learn that I was selected as the recipient. Your support means a lot to me, and I truly appreciate it.

I am currently in my fourth semester of the Early Childhood Education 213 at Mohawk College. After graduation, I plan to open my own daycare where I will manage all the things and engage with the parents and the children through in person meetings. This award will help me continue working toward that goal by easing some of the financial burdens of my education.

Thanks to your generosity, I can focus more on my studies and not worry as much about tuition and other expenses As I had some problems during my semester 2 so I could not do my practicum 2 so l will take that course after this intake, so l have to pay extra fee for that. This award helps me in getting my goal without taking any kind of stress. One day, I hope to give back and help others, just as you’ve helped me.

Thank you again for your kindness and support. I will work hard to make the most of this opportunity and to honor your contribution to my education. Sincerely,
