Stephen Chung - 2024 ME & Lau Family Foundation Scholarship Award Recipient (York Region)
ME & Lau Family Foundation Scholarships | ME & Lau 獎學金
Our ME Scholarships Program aims to help York Region
and GTA students with excellent academic and community
achievements to attain secondary education by offering a
small tribute of financial support of CAD $1,200.
For the Toronto stream, we are in partnership with
Community Living Toronto. For the York Region steam, we
are in partnership with Community Living York South.
Looking at our critical path, we presented our first
scholarship of $1,000 at the Angus Glen Golf Club in 2019.
We continued our program virtually during the pandemic in
2020 and 2021. Two recipients with intellectual disabilities
received the scholarships. In 2022, we presented two
$1,000 scholarships at the Toronto-Markham Marriott Hotel.
In 2023, we presented three $1,200 scholarships at the
Varley Arts Gallery of Markham to two GTA students and one
York Region student.
This year, the scholarship review committee (Agapi Mavridis,
Chloe Ho, Catherine Wan, Karen Leung, Matthew Poon, Ritch
Lau, Ritu Singarayer, Robin Choy, Samia Shaheen, Sylvie
Labrosse and Taylor Hui) selected four recipients: Hawwa
Khan (GTA - Brampton) of Brampton Centennial Secondary
School, Stephen Chung (York Region - Markham) of Markville
Secondary School, Vnusha Uthayakumar (York Region
- Markham) of Bill Hogarth Secondary School; and Zara
Siddiqui (GTA - Mississauga) of St. Joseph Secondary School
to each receive a 2024 ME Scholarship Award of $1200.
The rigorous review process involved essay writing, personal
interview and reference endorsement. All scholarship
recipients have demonstrated to the scholarship review
committee their (i) exceptional academic records, (ii) tracked
community work achievements, (iii) acceptance to a post
secondary education program, (iv) financial needs and (v)
outstanding interpersonal skills.
Special thanks given to Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti,
Regional Councillor Alan Ho, Markham Ward 2 Councillor
Ritch Lau, National Bank, Caliber Mortgage, Christina Chan
from the Creative Children Society and her family, Arvinder
Parkash from RBC and all sponsors for supporting ME to
deliver our program.
