Congratulations to Grade 12 Abelard student Rathesh Balendran on winning one of only 40 Loran Scholars Provincial Awards!
The Loran Scholars Foundation is dedicated to discovering and developing young leaders of character, and the Loran Awards are Canada’s largest and most comprehensive undergraduate scholarships. This year, the Loran Foundation received a record 4,273 applications from schools across Canada. Only the top 10% of candidates were selected as semi-finalists, based on evidence of character, commitment to service in the community and outstanding leadership potential. We are immensely proud of Rathesh for numbering among them, and for his remarkable academic accomplishments and the wonderful work he continues to do in the community to inspire other young students.
