This award relieved some financial stress by covering a portion of my annual tuition costs. Importantly, being chosen to receive this award was a reminder of why I decided to return to school and provided me a burst of motivation and ambition. It is such an honour to receive an award, and it made me reflect on my research accomplishments thus far—and my goals for the future. - Katherine Ford PhD Candidate, Nutrition and Metabolism 2019 award recipient

Support like this award helps reduce outside financial stressors, which allows me to focus more on the research that I enjoy. - Stephanie Carlin PhD Candidate, Human Nutrition 2019 award recipient
