CDL-Rockies Opportunities Scholarship recipient

Sabrina Pricope

“I am currently beginning my academic journey at the University of Alberta in a General Bachelor of Science with a Major in Physics. I have always been fascinated by the beauty and intricacies of math and applied science, and am extremely excited to be surrounded by University of Alberta scientists, mathematicians, researchers, and designers who are leaders in their respective fields. While completing my undergraduate degree, I have committed myself to designing and developing an app called Study Without Bounds as a tool to assist students in their own pursuits of success in STEM. The 2022 MindFuel CDL-Rockies Opportunities Scholarship is supporting my journey in STEM, while also helping me contribute to the creation of a brighter future with increased resources for students and higher rates of STEM involvement. Thank you again for MindFuel’s and CDL-Rockies’ generous support, as it has a huge impact on my post-secondary aspirations and my goal of one day becoming a role model for young women in STEM!”

Allyssa Bontilao

I am genuinely grateful to have been awarded the MindFuel, and GrowSafe Systems Founders’ Scholarship, which will help me succeed in my current journey as a young woman in STEM. I am attending the University of Alberta with a Specialization in Cell Biology. There, I am devoted to participating in the Department of Cell Biology and being surrounded by individuals who are just as dedicated and eager to be future world leaders in genetics and cellular biology. This scholarship will be an investment in my education so that I may start my path of contributing to our further understanding of genetic diseases and other cellular abnormalities. With your support, I hope to prove my worth as a future contributor to the world of medical genetic science and make a difference in the world of STEM today.
