2025 Access Communications Doug Alexander Scholarship Recipients

Grace Bosch, Fox Valley

I am from a small town in Saskatchewan and I love helping people. I always felt that increasing positive change in the world would not only help others, but myself as well.

Amelia Campbell, Battleford

I have always been taught to help others and give back to my community. My parents were a big supporter of that as well as my educational role models. 

Anastasiia Finovska, Regina

I volunteer because I believe in people supporting each other for the greater good of human development and I want to be a part of the growth that leads everyone to a better state within ourselves, our homes, and our relationships. There is truly nothing more meaningful than seeing how the change you create impacts your communities, 

Afton Foster, Davidson

I’ve been taught that volunteering is always something you should do, not sometimes do. 

Jillian Heidecker, Indian Head

Bettering the world through volunteerism does exactly that. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing your actions directly affect someone else’s day for the better. 

Taylor Henderson, Leask

I’m passionate about giving back to my community. I volunteer because I believe small actions can make a big impact, and I enjoy connecting with others while contributing to causes I care about.

Jeffrey Hutchinson, Rocanville

Volunteering has become central to who I am. In small communities, I believe it’s important to be part of something bigger than yourself, not only to make an impact, but to grow as a person and build meaningful connections.

Ayden Jacobs, Gravelbourg

Volunteering allows me to use my skills and passions for good, while also learning from others and giving back to causes that matter to me.

Kasey Jessiman, Lucky Lake

Being a volunteer brings a person so much joy. Helping others, helping your community. I have learned so much from volunteering.

Nathan Kirzinger, Viscount

My community shaped me into who I am today, therefore, I will contribute to any community that I become a member of in the future.

Griffin LeBlanc, Wakaw

I like to volunteer to help others make their life a little easier, it also brings me joy to help others for such a little moment of my life.

Kayla Maitland, Kisbey

Volunteering has always been an important part of my life. I do it because I want to make a positive change in the world. So often, people get caught up in their own lives and forget the impact we can have by supporting our communities through simple acts of service.

Rebecca Mayerle, Tisdale

My goal is to inspire and help others, positively impacting their lives. Through volunteering, I try to be a kind and encouraging role model to others, especially children who may not have a role model at home. Volunteering has taught me virtues like selflessness, gratitude, compassion, leadership, and togetherness.

Kloey Rosciski, Martensville

I volunteer because I want to make a lasting impact on my community. Helping others brings me joy and I’m passionate about uplifting the people around me. Whether it’s encouraging a friend, supporting a teammate, or lending a hand at local events, I always strive to make my community a better place. 

William Schmidt, Regina

I believe that we each shape the world in a unique way, and we all have a duty to do our best.

Leta Schulz, Carnduff

Volunteering and helping the community has been part of my life since I was little. I would watch my parents volunteer for everything like coaching, managing, setting up for an event, helping the school, being the carpool driver, and more I am probably not remembering. They were the ones who inspired me to be an asset to the community.

Kiah Shields, Esterhazy

I have found that volunteering gives a large sense of purpose and eliminates homesickness while I am away from home. I enjoy giving back to young female hockey players to be able to mentor them through their athletic careers. I enjoy being a role model for young athletes in my area, as I love to see potential grow within young athletes. 

Rylee Taggart, Martensville

Volunteering has taught me leadership, teamwork, and the value of service, which I plan to carry into my future as a chef. 

Ummi Umar, Yorkton

"You talk too much" has never been an insult to me. In fact, talking is not only one of my favourite hobbies, but it is also the driving force that motivated a lot of my volunteerism work today. 

Tina Wei, Regina

I will continue to try to create a difference in the world, no matter how small or large it may seem; it’s better than being a bystander and doing nothing.

2025 University of Regina Recipients

Addyson Young

Fred Wagman Entrance Scholarship

"This financial aid will go a long way in helping me pay for my secondary education. It will contribute not only to my tuition but also help offset living expenses as I work toward pursuing my dream of entering the film industry in any way I can—whether behind the camera, in post-production, or on set. Your contribution brings me one step closer to turning that dream into a reality."

2025 Saskatchewan Polytechnic Recipients

Abigail Hindmarch

Computer Automated Systems Tech
Sask Polytechnic, Regina

"A student award would benefit me by allowing me to save some of my education fund I have saved for my younger sister, who plans on pursuing a degree in Psychology in the next few years. The priority has gone to saving for my education as the eldest child, but as covid has made money tight the last few years there is not a lot saved up for her so I hope to fund my education with Scholarships and thus allow her to take from the RESP as she will need it. I also am hoping to further my education beyond this two year program at Sask Polytech, so any money I have that are more than my current tuition expenses would be used to go pursue my higher degree in coding and programming off in BC."

Eryk Peterson

Computer Networking Technician
Sask Polytechnic, Regina

"Receiving a student award would not only honour my journey of personal transformation and academic excellence but also empower me to continue serving as a role model in my community. Through coaching sports, I’ve inspired others to see their potential, fostering leadership qualities that extend beyond the field. My commitment to sports has been a catalyst for my weight loss, and ignited a passion for health and community engagement."
