In a press release, Crow said, “I am extremely honours and appreciative to be chosen as one of 10 students across the country to win such a prestigious award like the Futures Fund.”
He included, “I believe it signifies my dedication and commitment toward academics, advocacy and workforce experience.”
Crow was commemorated at an unique reception along with his fellow receivers in Toronto in early May. Winners were likewise welcomed to Canada’s Outstanding CEO of the Year Award Gala.
Crow specified, “My time at the Futures Fund event was such an insightful and inspiring experience.”
“I had the opportunity to hear firsthand from amazing business leaders and CEOs like, Dave McKay, chief executive officer of Royal Bank of Canada and 2022 CEO of the Year.”
Crow is a Blackfoot member of the Kainai First Nation. He hopes winning the award can act as motivation to individuals who share his roots.
He said, “As an Indigenous person and proud Blackfoot member of the Kainai First Nation, it’s very important for me to fill spaces within the western world and its institutions, so that current and future generations can feel a sense of belonging and acceptance, and also see themselves in similar roles.”
The Dhillon School of Business was among 10 business schools at universities throughout Canada picked to choose its most deserving trainee to receive the $10,000 scholarship.
