Qalipu First Nation is pleased to announce the recipient of the scholarship opportunity in partnership with Brenntag Canada Inc. This $1,000 scholarship supports Qalipu First Nation students pursuing post-secondary studies in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).

We are excited to recognize Ryan Burridge as the inaugural recipient of this scholarship. Ryan graduated high school in June 2025 and was accepted into the Bachelor of Engineering program at the Engineering Level One for the Fall 2025 semester at the Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN). He had a strong start to his university studies. Ryan was selected for this scholarship based on his academic performance, career goals, and volunteer involvement.

Qalipu First Nation extends sincere thanks to the team at Brenntag Canada Inc. for their generous support in creating this opportunity for our youth and helping to encourage the next generation of STEM leaders.
