SHAD is a registered Canadian charity that empowers exceptional high school students - at a pivotal point in their education - to recognize their own capabilities and envision their extraordinary potential as tomorrow's leaders and change makers. Each year, SHAD provides the opportunity for 600+ students from across Canada and internationally to attend a month-long summer program, in-residence at one of 12 Canadian host universities, focused on STEM (science, technology, engineering & math). There are currently more than 14,000 SHAD alumni including 26 Rhodes Scholars, Top 40 under 40 & Top 20 Under 20 award recipients, and many other accomplished professionals, all sharing the transformational SHAD experience and able to leverage their SHAD network for life. Founded in 1980, SHAD is based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

Our application due date of December 11 is quickly approaching! A gentle reminder: Since this is an online application, please encourage your exceptional students to start, or finish, working on their SHAD application. 
 
Also don't forget to remind your students:
. It costs nothing to apply.
. We have a substantial fund for financial assistance. We believe strongly that all qualified students deserve an opportunity to benefit from the SHAD experience, regardless of their financial situation. 
I look forward to seeing your school's applicants, and to welcoming some of your exceptional students to SHAD in 2015.
 
Thank you for your support, and if you have any questions please contact me.
