The London native was accepted to Trent with the University’s top entrance scholarship: full first-year tuition for students entering with an average above 95 per cent. Walker’s leadership and community involvement earned them the Board of Governors Leadership Scholarship, valued at $7,500 each year of their four-year degree.
Before enrolling at Trent, Walker organized clothing and food drives, offered literacy support for children and encouraged youth participation in blood donation campaigns.
They shared that receiving the Board of Governors Leadership Scholarship was the ultimate factor that fundamentally changed their future, making it possible to attend Trent to pursue a degree in Conservation Biology.
“This scholarship meant going to my dream university when my parents, grandparents and everyone before them were unable to attend university at all,” said Walker. “It has left a mark on my family that truly cannot be replicated.”
