Note of Appreciation
“I was the recipient of the Canadian Federation of Women’s University scholarship in 2022. I am a fashion merchandising major at LIM College in Manhattan, New York. I am currently in the second semester of my first year and can already say that I have learned so much. Recently I have been doing some amazing things here in New York City. These experiences have compelled me to reach out. Every day I am grateful for receiving this scholarship as it has allowed me to live out my dreams. “
