After graduating from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s in 2007 with a bachelor카지노 게임 컬렉션�s degree in mechanical engineering, Elise Reel Idnani wanted to stay connected with her alma mater. She also wanted to help other students 카지노 게임 컬렉션� particularly those with limited financial resources 카지노 게임 컬렉션� advance in the profession she loves.

Donors Elise Reel Idnani (Sc'07) and Vikas Idnani outside a Vale Canada Ltd. worksite.

Setting up a student award with her husband, Vikas Idnani, proved the perfect solution to both wishes. The fact that Vale Canada Ltd., the Sudbury mining company where the Idnanis work, will match their contribution serves to double 카지노 게임 컬렉션� or in their case, quadruple 카지노 게임 컬렉션� their gift to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s.

Awarded on the basis of demonstrated financial need and academic achievement, the new Idnani and Reel Award will be open to students from any year in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, with preference given to Aboriginal students.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Overall we wanted to help students in need,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Ms. Reel Idnani, who chairs the Sudbury chapter of Professional Engineers of Ontario. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Since engineering has higher tuition than many other programs, we decided it would be a good focus.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Attending an Aboriginal symposium and feast while at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s had a lasting impact on Ms. Idnani. That, plus the fact she and Mr. Idnani 카지노 게임 컬렉션� who is a contract administrator at Vale 카지노 게임 컬렉션� often work with Aboriginal Peoples convinced the couple to include this designation in their student award.

When Mr. Idnani, who has a commerce degree from the 카지노게임사이트 of Mumbai and a business diploma from Sudbury카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Cambrian College, heard about their company카지노 게임 컬렉션�s donor matching program, he decided to combine his giving with Ms. Idnani카지노 게임 컬렉션�s to maximize the benefits.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Once our Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s award is fully funded, we intend to do the same thing at other institutions,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says.

Gifts toward student assistance reduce the financial pressures that some students experience, and recognize their academic excellence and perseverance during their studies at Queen's.

More than one-third of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s undergraduate students currently receive financial assistance from the university through scholarships (merit-based), bursaries (need-based) or some combination of the two.
