“Being awarded the Veazey scholarship was an honour and a testimony for my achievements throughout high school. However, more importantly, the scholarship made me think more critically about my post-secondary education and how I can use my education for the good of my community. It reminded me to constantly look at the community and find areas I can help with my background and education. When I was unsure about my career choices during my undergraduate studies, the Veazey scholarship reminded me what is important to me and my community, and guided me to my current career path. The scholarship gave me the freedom to try out different fields before I was able to find the one that suited me and also allowed me to give back to the community at the same time.”
James Yan (2012 Veazey Scholar)

“The Veazey Scholarship changed my life. From my first year, when I was struggling with the changes of transitioning into university, to my last year where I had completed a semester of exchange studies at the National University of Singapore, the Veazey Scholarship has remained as my constant source of motivation, and my fellow Veazey Scholars have been a source of inspiration. By having the financial aspect of University taken care of, I could concentrate on successfully navigating through the highs and lows of an undergraduate journey and work towards my career aspirations. Being a Veazey Scholar has been one of my most rewarding accomplishments and it’s truly allowed me to keep dreaming big.”
Lakshmi Soundarapandian (2013 Veazey Scholar)

“I would like to express my deep gratitude to the Veazey Scholarship Board for supporting my education throughout my undergraduate degree. It has been an honour to be a part of this community and being a Veazey scholar has given me the opportunity to pursue my education freely, with determined joy and commitment. I cannot say thank you enough. Being a Veazey Scholar throughout my undergrad has shaped me as a person, and the spirit of community-mindedness of the Veazeys will continue to shape the decisions I make moving forward.”
Kihan Yoon-Henderson (2015 Veazey Scholar)

“The Veazey Scholarship has really made such a major impact on all of our lives, one that I know I will be grateful for for the rest of mine. I know this is all thanks to the dedication and hard work of the Trustees of the Veazey Scholarship Foundation and its Selection Committee and the vision of Mr. Veazey in memory of Mrs. Veazey.”
Lilin Zhang (2015 Veazey Scholar)

“The Veazey scholarship has been a life-changing award. It gave me the financial freedom to fully immerse myself in my studies and in the UBC community while also introducing me to the amazing group of driven, passionate, like-minded Veazey scholars. The scholarship, and incredible community that came with it, have helped me become the person I am today. I am eternally thankful and look forward to meeting future recipients.”
