She is “I Am The Future”
We are extremely proud of Ama F. A. , who has been honoured with the prestigious RBC Future Launch Scholarship for Black Youth 2024! Nominated by the African Communities of Manitoba Inc. (ACOMI) , this Scholarship awards $10,000 per year for up to four years.?
Ama F. A. , a Grade 12 student at Fort Richmond Collegiate , came to Winnipeg from Ghana. Fueled by the hurdles she overcame in her early life with illness and frequent admissions to the hospital, her determination and passion for making an impact within the healthcare field is unmatched. Ama F. A. aspires to specialize as a pediatrician or cardiac surgeon, and dreams of addressing healthcare disparities in northern Canada.
The RBC Future Launch Scholarship not only celebrates academic excellence and community engagement but also provides financial support and mentorship from RBC . By empowering young black Canadians, this scholarship seeks to break barriers to higher education and training.? Ama F. A. stands out for her remarkable achievements and aspirations being one of 20 Canadian winners this year.?
We had the pleasure last year of meeting Ama F. A. when she won our B.History Scholarship in partnership with #CanU Canada and Northwell Group - Nour Private Wealth Management. The recipients of these scholarships are responsible for submitting an essay on how they will make an impact on history. With these scholarships, #CanU strives to motivate students and adults alike to be the change we want to see in the future.?
