LOCAL STUDENT AIMING FOR THE STARS
May 23, 2023 Bancroft This Week
By Bill Kilpatrick
When Grade 12 North Hastings High School student Qwin Goodwin woke up on May 3 the first thing
he did was check his email, as he does every morning, but this morning was one that he would not
soon forget. When Goodwin opened his email he saw that he had been chosen to receive the Schulich
Leader Award scholarship from Queen’s University. “Disbelief” and “floored” were the words that
Goodwin used to describe his feelings when he saw the email and, after a few seconds of shock, he
immediately jumped out of bed to share the news with his family. His father Brian said that Qwin was
vibrating he was so excited, and he just gave him a big hug and told him how proud he was of him.
The Schulich Leader scholarship was established in 2012 by Seymour Schulich, a Canadian entrepreneur and philanthropist,
and, according to Queen’s University’s office of the registrar, is “awarded on the basis of academic excellence, leadership,
charisma, and creativity to entrepreneurial-minded students entering first year of Schulich eligible Science, Technology,
Engineering, or Mathematics degree programs.” There are two separate awards that are given, one for Bachelor of Applied
Science and Batchelor of Science, Goodwin won the former (applied) which means he receives $120,000 over 4 years, or
$30,000 per year. To continue reading go to: https://www.bancroftthisweek.com/local-student-aiming-for-the-stars/
