| Description: | Granted to a student who is pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree, is normally residing in Canada, completed their previous ten years of study in a Canadian educational facility, and who is in the greatest financial need. |
| Background: | Hamed Shaker Nasry and his wife Mabrouka were the proud parents of four children, and grandparents of five grandchildren. Originally from Cairo, Egypt, Hamed and Mabrouka immigrated to Canada in 2011 to help their daughter provide a better life for her two children. Hamed and Mabrouka couldn't continue their education due to having no financial aid, however, they made sure to work extremely hard to help all four of their children complete post-secondary education and move onto professional fields like medicine, law, accounting, and the military. They also freed all their time to look after their grandchildren. Hamed passed away on February 4th, 2012 and shortly after, Mabrouka passed away on March 29, 2014. This scholarship is set up by Hamed and Mabrouk's daughter to honour and thank her parents as they are the true testament of what it means to truly sacrifice everything-every last penny for your children's happiness. |
