“MCSS has given me the opportunity to truly shine at my university.
With their help, I was able to become our Student Association
president which allowed me to make great social change on our campus,
including more inclusive practices for the LGBTQ+ community and comity to modernize the campus-wide sexual violence policy. I was also
able to travel around Atlantic Canada to champion the importance of
learning French and preserving its culture. I thank MCSS a million
times for their support!”.

The MCSS scholarship has given me and my family a great sense of hope that I will have a future out of poverty, and this security has allowed me to focus on my studies.

With the help of MCSS, I have created personal care packages for women in need and I am currently working on several projects to help with the COVID-19 pandemic”.
