Out of a pool of over 5,200 applicants, Dawson General Social Science student Delice Betukumesu is one of 90 young Canadians selected as a Loran Finalist for the class of 2024.
In their press release, the Loran Scholars Foundation said these students "have demonstrated their intrinsic drive to step up in the face of challenges and positively impact their communities."
Offered in full partnership with 25 Canadian universities, a Loran Award is valued at approximately $100,000 over four years of undergraduate study.
Delice will travel to Toronto next month for Loran's National Interviews Feb. 23-25. Out of this group, 36 students will be selected as Loran Scholars for 2024.
