Student Testimonial
Chelsea Dunbar, 4th year NRM Forest Ecology & Management
“Unfortunate circumstances caused me to be a single mother, and as a result I am the sole provider for my two young kids. With rent, daycare, food, diapers, etc. it is very hard to make ends meet. Award funds from doors like you make it possible for me to get out of poverty and better myself to create a stable life for my children.”
Champion’s Message
Annie Booth, Professor, Ecosystem Science and Management
“Too many of our UNBC female students struggle to eat, care for kids, take care of a parent AND succeed in school. For every IWAU Award we’ve given out, there are 4 more applicants we did not have funds for. The IWAU Award is meant to support female students become Inspiring Women. Which is why I support it, and I hope you will too.”
