What We Are Looking For

Progress bar indicating project is complete

No single profile defines the ideal Horizon Scholar. We are selecting 20 participants who collectively represent:

  • A range of disciplinary interests (Sciences, Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences, Health, Business, Law, Education, etc.).
  • Varied academic journeys and CÉGEP programs.
  • Multiple forms of community involvement and leadership.
  • Different relationships to Black identity, culture, and community.
  • A mix of personality types: introverts, extroverts, quiet and vocal leaders.
  • Students at different points in their sense of direction: some still exploring, some with clear goals.
