Our Rowan Stringer 'Commitment to Caring Scholarship’
Rowan Stringer was born with the heart of a caregiver. In grade 11 she worked as a co-op student at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and, in grade 12, she enrolled in the University of Ottawa to become a paediatric nurse. She never made it to that first class. A competitive and keen athlete, she was captain of her high school’s rugby team. Tragically, in May 2013, 17-year old Rowan died as the result of brain injuries.
This scholarship is awarded to not only honour Rowan, but her parents’ dedicated work to shine a light on the importance of concussion education in Ontario. The result was the establishment of Rowan’s Law: Concussion Safety, 2018,
This scholarship opportunity is offered to graduating high school students from Durham Region. Applicants must be enrolled this fall in a college or university healthcare program and must to be able to demonstrate their caring and nurturing personality like Rowan did.
