The organizers are proud to announce a new initiative with Sarah Strong that we hope will be an annual occurrence. Furthermore, the Sarah Strong Scholarship is in honor of Sarah Ibrahim and is to help continue to encourage people to talk and share about mental health. Additionally, the organizers will continue to try to honor Sarah’s life and how beautiful of a person she was by breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health and making it known that it’s okay not to be okay.

Applicants must be residents of Canada and have already graduated high school.

Each applicant for this scholarship will have to write an essay about what mental health means to them. Also, they can decide to talk about personal struggles they have faced or continue to face in regards to mental health.
