NORTH DELTA – An Indo-Canadian student from Burnsview Secondary has been awarded a $100,000 scholarship to study software engineering at the University of Waterloo in the fall.
Kushal Mujral is one of 100 graduating students from across Canada selected to receive a $100,000 Schulich Leader Scholarship this year.
The scholarship is awarded to students enrolling in a science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) undergraduate program at one of 20 partner universities in Canada. Every high school in Canada can nominate one student for the scholarship per academic year, and Mujral was selected for his outstanding academic and community extra-curricular achievements.
Mujral said he was “over the moon” when he received the notice of offer, adding he couldn’t believe he had won a $100,000 scholarship.
