Scholarship student graduates with Bachelor of Science degree

I can remember when the scholarship was first offered, I was in Tahayghen Elementary School in Masset, with thoughts of university already dancing in my head.  I knew it was something I would strive for. I never would have thought that, one day, I would be a recipient; I can remember the day I received the call like it was yesterday. Hearing Beverley’s voice on speaker phone was absolutely surreal. It is hard to believe that I have completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing and psychology minor at Hawaii Pacific University. It has been an exhilarating experience living and continuing my education in Hawaii.

I have been blessed with such an amazing experience. I was apart of a culturally diverse university that allowed me to become more culturally aware and feel a lot more like a citizen of the world. I grew as a young girl from a small isolated community into a strong, passionate, and ambitious aboriginal woman looking forward to all of my future challenges and endeavors. The confidence that has grown through accomplishing my degree with the never wandering support I have received from my community, family, friends, and the Fernandez Earle Scholarship Foundation has opened up many doors and showed me I can do anything I set my mind to.

This scholarship is an amazing opportunity for the students of Haida Gwaii. I have seen it inspire many students to pursue a post-secondary education. The scholarship encourages all students to work harder in secondary school, they start to see all of the opportunities that are available to them. I can only hope that I will make as big of an impact on peoples’ lives as this scholarship has on mine in my career as a nurse I now feel as if the world is at my fingertips. Everything feels like it is within reach. I will forever be thankful to the Fernandez Earle Scholarship Foundation, its committee members, and generous donators.

To applicants, new recipients, and continuing students, remember that nothing is impossible.

This career path will ultimately benefit the community around me by providing an essential service through a line of work which I intend to accomplish with skill and enthusiasm. I plan to return to Haida Gwaii for a period of time, if not indefinitely to work in the Queen Charlotte of Massett hospitals to benefit the communities in whatever ways I can.”

Beverley Kniffen,  Executive Director of the Foundation commented this is a very prestigious award and means a great deal to the communities in Haida Gwaii, with over 60 per cent unemployment, this opportunity may not otherwise be available to a bright and motivated young man.
