Warm greetings from Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Canada. I am happy that you have applied to Laurier! This edition of the Choose Laurier newsletter focuses on scholarships for international students.  To be eligible for our prestigious Scotiabank International Entrance Scholarships, you must submit your transcripts by Friday March 20th, 2009.

Read about the National recognition of our accounting students in the School of Business & Economics, and find out how you can view the status of your application online. For those of you in the Middle East, check out my travel schedule as I will be visiting Jordan, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain from February 6-20th.  I would love to reconnect with those of you I have met before, and speak to those I haven't yet had a chance to meet.  If you and your family want to arrange a meeting with me during my upcoming visit to your country, please don't hesitate to contact me.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Richard or myself!

Best of luck with your studies!
