- "Students are at the heart of all we do" – RAMC recognizes student academic success and provides financial support to students demonstrating financial need. Through our relationship with the Mohawk College Foundation, we have gained an appreciation of the challenges facing today’s students and are gratified to be able to help by contributing a significant portion of our membership fees to support students.
- Retirees may want to consider personal donations as well. The Mohawk College Foundation website describes many ways to give in support of students.
- The thank you notes that we receive from student recipients of our support are inspirational and heart-warming.
"This gracious donation will allow me to pursue my education this year without financial burden. I hope one day I will be in the position to help other students as you have helped me today."
"This program is my true vocation, and with your generous consideration, I am able to pursue my dream of becoming a child and youth care professional. This funding will allow me to invest more time and energy on my studies rather than struggling to make ends meet. I hope to pay it forward in my dedication to benefiting the lives of children, youth, and their families."
"As a mature student, my life challenges differ from most of my classmates who are beginning their professional careers and have the luxury of time to grow into their full potential. But like my classmates, I am enthusiastic regarding my future opportunities that a post-secondary education has afforded me. Those of us that choose the helping professions find joy in supporting others to reach their goals and aspirations. Awards, such as this one, enable students, such as myself, to pursue further educational opportunities."
"The generosity you have provided inspires me to continue to give back to my community, and drives me to push myself to reach my goals. I hope that one day I will be able to help students achieve their goals and make a difference in their life, just as you have helped me with this award."
"You have relieved me of much of my student loan debt, allowing me to further work towards my academic goals, such as graduating with a Dean’s Honour’s List distinction. Your generosity has given me inspiration to give back to the community in my own ways. "
"Acts of kindness like this motivate me to work hard and help others and overall give back. I plan on one day helping others the way this has helped me."
