That belief freed me to go all-in on learning and inspired me to give back.”

  • Shayan Siddiqui (MHIA ’24)

    “As an international MBA student, being named a Krembil Scholar was a turning point—it gave me confidence in my potential, opened doors I never imagined, and shaped my leadership journey. It taught me to lead with confidence, empathy, and purpose—lessons I carry into my career today.”

  • Wasifa Noshin (IMBA ’21)

    “My journey to Schulich from Bangladesh was made possible by the Krembil Scholarship, which gave me stability and the freedom to focus on learning and growth. Looking back, it gave me the foundation to grow into an authentic, bold leader in the financial sector—working with innovative technology responsibly.”

“In these difficult and challenging times, it has never been more important to develop the kind of leaders in the healthcare sector who can anticipate change and provide responsible, innovative solutions. It is for that reason that I am particularly proud of this initiative with the Schulich School of Business.”
