Meet Our Scholarship Recipients& of 2024 2025

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

Hannah Toope

My name is Hannah Toope, I am a third year Graphic Design student at Mohawk College. I
wanted to reach out to you today to thank you for your generous donation to the students of
Mohawk College. I truly want you to know that I appreciate your support greatly and will never
forget the moment I was informed I was chosen for the award. I have been an art lover all my life
and found my calling here at Mohawk College, to be selected to receive this award tells me that I
am going down the right path in life.

I began my artistic journey as a child, constantly drawing and creating many different
things, like clay trinkets and paintings. It wasn’t until I attended the Mohawk College Art & Design
Foundations program that I realized this was what I’m meant to pursue in life. I have a passion for
design as a whole, but I really enjoy print/packaging, it is the field I plan to work in upon
graduation. Being in college for Graphic Design has been very eye opening in so many ways. I
have learned so much and I am excited to continue learning more, thanks to you.

Once again, I cannot stress enough that I want you to know how much this donation
means to me. I made the decision to give my schooling my all this semester even during hard
times and thanks to you, I am able to do it without too much financial worry. Being chosen for this
award has inspired me, and I hope that one day I am able to assist students the way you have
assisted me this semester.

Fund. I was very happy and truly appreciative to learn that I was selected as the recipient.
My name is Mursel Ahmadi, and I am currently studying Early Childhood Education at

placements, and building my skills as an educator. Thanks to you, I am one step closer to
reaching my goal of graduating and contributing positively to the field of early childhood
education.

Thank you once again for this generous award and for believing in students like me. Your
