Every year, Foresters Financial selects up to 375 post-secondary students to award tuition scholarships. Students from Canada and the US can receive up to $2,500, while students in the UK can get up to \u00a31,000. These bright young leaders all demonstrated exceptional leadership through community service and a commitment to academics.<\/p>\n

And we couldn\u2019t be more proud of the difference they\u2019re going to continue making in our communities and around the world!<\/em><\/p>\n

They come from three different countries and are studying everything from engineering and pre-law to environmental science, pre-med and criminal justice. And while their educational pursuits are impressive, what\u2019s even more incredible is their commitment to giving back.<\/p>\n

Our winners make a difference!<\/strong><\/p>\n
