Past recipients
“I feel truly humbled to have been selected as the successful recipient of the Ngalaya and Colin Biggers Paisley First Nations Law Scholarship. This will enable me to achieve the best results possible [and] update some of my adaptive technology, which I [use] to study due to my blindness.”
