An article posted in the Niagara Dailies and Niagara This Week features Niagara College’s Ontario Remembrance Scholarship recipient Paula Natalia Gongora Quintero.
The $10,500 scholarship was funded by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities in memory of the victims of the Ukrainian airliner crash in Iran in January 2020, which claimed the lives of 57 Canadians, including 34 Ontario postsecondary students or staff members.
Quintero, who is originally from Columbia, is a second-year Business Administration – Human Resources (Co-op) student. She was selected for the award out of nearly 200 other applicants based on her academic achievements, community engagement, volunteer experience and financial need. She comments, “Everyone has a mission to leave a print that others can use as an example, and my goal is to prove that, as Latins, we have wonderful skills and capabilities to be leaders in our college and communities.”
The coverage also includes a comment from NC financial aid advisor Marissa Ditto.
