The Schwartz Scholarship will help me in achieving my career goals by relieving the financial stress of paying for my education and allowing me to focus on making an impact here at StFX and in the community.
Michael Delaney, Schwartz National Scholar
The scholarship through Schwartz helped to ease the burden of coming to StFX from overseas. I was offered scholarships from other business schools but they didn't compare to the opportunity through Schwartz.

Being from Toronto, I applied to all the major Business schools across Ontario but the scholarship made it a no-brainer to come to Schwartz.
