Three Edmonton Grade 12 students are among the recipients of this year's Schulich Leader Scholarship, one of the richest awards in Canada for students studying science, technology, engineering and math. For Maghera, the offer came in mid-April, when he and all other high school students in Alberta were staying home, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He also works with Millennium STEM, which plans events for high school students interested in science, technology, engineering, math and leadership. While in High School, Esanullah worked as a page in the Alberta legislature, formed a social justice group, and volunteered through Kiwanis international. Winning the Schulich scholarship is a point of pride for Esanullah, and also her parents.
