We are thrilled to announce the recipients of the 2023-2024 SAC Scholarships! Congratulations to these 30 student associates for their outstanding achievements and dedication to their programs. As future audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and communication health assistants, they have demonstrated the spirit of excellence, leadership, and community service that SAC deeply values.
Thank you to the Elks of Canada, Maria Scaringi of KIDSPEECHTM and The Beach Family for their continued and generous support. We also extend our sincere appreciation to the members of our Scholarship Committee for their considerable time and dedication invested in enhancing the Scholarship program.
