Selected through a competitive process, the 2024 EKO Scholars are determined to contribute in positive ways to society. All are pursuing post-secondary education at Ontario universities and colleges, and plan to work in education, business, law, emergency services, technology, and politics, and make sure every avenue is open to other kids who may have disabilities and developmental needs.
Each 2024 EKO Scholar shares their experiences growing up with a disability or with developmental needs, and the benefits they received from treatment. They also shared how being different could be an isolating experience. Each of our scholars demonstrates a self-awareness beyond their years, promise, and a motivation to live their best lives.
We look forward to seeing the impact each EKO Scholar will make in their chosen fields, in their communities, and in our world.
