2020 Virtual AREF Awards Distribution

2020 was an unforgettable year, that had an impact on all of us. While we could not celebrate the AREF winners in an in-person gala like we do every year, this does not stop us from acknowledging the amazing accomplishments of the scholarship recipients. Equally, we would like to offer our sincere appreciation to the generous donors who continue to support students’ academic endeavours.
