Eric was a 2014 graduate of Holy Cross High School who tragically passed away in a workplace accident in Saskatoon on July 21 2016. He was the eldest son of a loving family from Central East Africa who came to Canada as refugees. Since his arrival in Canada at the age of 12, Eric was surrounded by a community of love and care that both supported and encouraged him. Eric had an interest in acting and the performing arts, but those dreams were cut short. We recognize that Canadian newcomers and refugee students face unique challenges, and not all of them are surrounded by communities of care and support. It is with this knowledge that friends from the Holy Cross family and the community wished to establish this bursary to financially assist up to two newcomer/refugee students who plan to continue their studies after high school.

The bursary of $2000 is to be divided equally between two students. The students receiving this bursary will be chosen by the scholarship committee at Holy Cross High School, which will include the principal and EAL teachers. Classroom teachers can give names of students OR students can apply directly.

1. The students receiving the award should be:

• students at Holy Cross High School for their entire Grade 12 year and should be graduating
the year the award is presented,
• Canadian Permanent Residents or refugee claimants
• individuals who have shown motivation
• individuals who are going on to study or train at a post secondary institution
• individuals who need financial assistance to pursue their studies.

2. The students must have received some EAL (English as an Additional Language) support in
their time at Holy Cross.

3. Preference will be given to refugee students.

The bursary is for first year full-time or part-time students attending a recognized post-secondary learning institution. The bursary can be held by the Foundation for up to 2 years before being claimed. Exceptions can be made to this timeline based on the Holy Cross Scholarship Committee’s recommendation.

Wanting a suitable remembrance of Chris, his family commissioned the Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools Foundation Inc. to establish an annual scholarship for a Holy Cross High School graduating student pursuing post-secondary studies of their choice. This annual award is offered by the Roy family together with donations from family and friends. By recognizing a Holy Cross High School student who reflects Chris’ qualities, this scholarship will allow the memory of Chris to continue on: his kindness and generosity, his spontaneity and vibrancy, his enthusiasm and zest for life, someone who made our world a brighter and better place.
