Dialogue 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ Speech Language Pathology Student Bursary: 2024-2025 Recipients

Dialogue 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ and 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ School of Communication Sciences and Disorders are proud to bring to your attention the name of the recipients of the 2024-2025 Speech Language Pathology Student Bursary. Congratulations to the ten winners: Christina Matos, Ramiya Edward, Adwoa Boadu, Veronica Luis, Katie Pallet-Wiesel, Mariana Buzo, Emilie Alchourron, Estefania Alvarez Babin, Sapphire Davis and Abigail McLellan.

It is generally agreed that the best patient-provider communication is achieved when healthcare providers and patients speak the same language. This observation is beyond dispute when it comes to speech-language pathology. How could this professional develop, rebuild and maintain a person’s capacity to communicate and integrate in his environment without mastering the patient’s language? However, the lack of professionals in speech-language therapy capable of meeting the needs of the English-speaking minority in most regions of Quebec has been emphasized by both community networks working with this community and health and social services institutions.

Against this backdrop, Dialogue 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ, whose mission is to contribute to a better access for English-speaking Quebecers to health and social services in their own language, created the Speech-Language Pathology Student Bursary Program. This bursary is designed for students capable of intervening in both English and French, enrolled full-time in the Master’s (applied) program at the 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ School of Communication Sciences and Disorders. For each bursary awarded, recipients must commit to staying in Quebec following the successful completion of their studies to work for a minimum of one year in a public health and social services institution or related organization. Next call for applications will be announced in autumn 2025.Ìý
