We would like to introduce this year’s scholarship recipients. We will be posting bios on each of these amazing students soon. Please come back and read about how they are pursuing their passions in post secondary education.
Jackson – Pickering, ON
2023 ABBI Scholarship Recipient
Jackson has not let MOGAD (Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody-Associated Disease) stand in his way of achieving his goals! Through much determination, strength and resiliency, Jackson was able to overcome many challenges and gain his lifeguarding certification where he has worked tirelessly to help fund his schooling. Jackson shows enormous empathy for others and has worked alongside the elderly during his Grade 11 year and also volunteers his time in the community with PAC4Teens. Jackson is attending Trent University for Computer Science. We have no doubt that Jackson will accomplish anything he sets his mind to! Congratulations Jackson!
Justin – Richmond Hill, ON
2023 ABBI Scholarship Recipient
Justin’s brain injury journey started when he was just 3 years old. He was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma. Justin’s ABI has created physical disabilities that make everyday activities challenging. It’s the invisible disabilities that are harder for people to understand. Justin has had to relearn how to eat, talk and walk all over again. Justin made a statement in his application, that is so profound and impactful that we felt it needs to be shared in his bio. Justin stated, “Adapting to this new reality became a necessity as I embraced alternative approaches to overcome these obstacles” That statement is exactly what Achieving Beyond is all about! Justin has devoted his time to advocating and empowering those who live with brain injuries and all forms of disabilities, and we couldn’t be prouder! Justin is attending York University for Speech and Language Sciences. Justin, we wish you all the best and can’t wait to see you achieve in the future! Congratulations Justin!
