Sabrina Botsford has always been determined. Starting her
fourth year in the Bachelor of Science Honours in Behaviour,
Cognition, and Neuroscience, she has already successfully
completed her Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) and is
on track to medical school.
Determined as she is, Botsford has had much help along the
way. Since the beginning of her undergraduate experience in 2009,
Botsford has maintained the Dean’s Renewal Entrance Scholarship
($1,750 per term). She has also acquired numerous bursaries,
ranging in amount from the Community Scholar Bursary ($500)
awarded in 2009 to the Father Louis J. Bondy C.S.B. Bursary ($1,000)
awarded in 2010. Botsford has also received esteemed awards such
as the Ben Meyer Memorial Award ($1,800) in early 2012.
“I’ve really been able to focus on my studies,” says Botsford
about the benefits of receiving her scholarships and bursaries. “It’s
cleared up my [work] schedule a lot.”
Botsford explains that financial aid has enabled her to take on
new experiences beyond the classroom. She is currently president
of the University’s Golden Key Chapter and is working throughout
the summer in Dr. Lisa Porter’s lab for the Department of Biological
Sciences, where she is also developing her thesis on tuberin, an
essential protein that is also a tumour suppressor.
“I really love my program of study,” says Botsford
enthusiastically. “It’s busy, but I enjoy it. Learning and working is a
good combination.”
Passionate as she is about her education, Botsford admits that it
would not have been the same without the generosity shown to her.
“My education has always been on me,” explains Botsford, who
comes from a single-parent family. “Honestly, money and finances
have never had to be a concern.”
Donations to University of Windsor students stretch farther
than most realize.
Of her scholarships and bursaries, Botsford adds: “It really helps
me keep focused. I’ve enjoyed my time in the lab so much during
my undergrad. It would be amazing to someday combine research
and patient care.”
To make a donation is to make a difference in the life of a
student like Botsford. The commitment and support that the
University of Windsor receives is an investment in the bright future
of its students.
