SimplyCast Awards 4 Scholarships to Local Students

Gourav Sharma, Dhivya Veerasekaran and Deanna Bru of Dalhousie University along with Mathew Stephenson of Acadia University were all awarded the SimplyCast Ritchie Scholarship. In previous years, only one student was awarded the scholarship but due to the generosity of Mr. Ritchie, three more students have been added.

The scholarships are awarded annually to high school or university/college students and are based on academic achievement, community citizenship and Equals6 network participation.

"SimplyCast is dedicated to supporting students because they are the future leaders of our great country and it is only by investing in them, that we can grow the economy," said Saeed El-Darahali, president and CEO of SimplyCast. "I want to congratulate all four of this year's winners and on behalf of my whole team, wish each of them best of luck in their studies."

The SimplyCast scholarships are named after Mr. William Ritchie, SimplyCast's Chairman of the Board, Dr. Dawn Jutla, a professor in the Department of Finance, Information Systems, and Management Science at Saint Mary's University and Dr. Porter Scobey, a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computing Science at Saint Mary's University.

"Each year I feel honoured to be able to award local students these scholarships," said Mr. Ritchie. All four winners are exceptional people and I wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors."
