LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE!

LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE!

The Stober Foundation is honoured to support countless bursaries and scholarships for post secondary students from variety of academic institutions and disciplines. We've recently partnered with the University of British Columbia, Okanagan College, Trinity Western University, and Laurentian University. This partnership has allowed us to fund over 100 students who will be getting fully funded scholarships and bursaries across their entire academic pursuits.

Currently, we are supporting students at both the college and university levels who are pursuing undergraduate, masters, phd, post-doctorate, and medical degrees. Being able to support the next generation of change makers in our world is a true blessing and something we take tremendous pride in. To that end, we thought we'd introduce some of the early recipients of our funding and provide them a platform to share some of the exciting things they are up to, as well celebrate the incredible things they will all undoubtedly do going forward. It is an absolute pleasure to introduce you to some of our Stober Scholars!

CONAN SHING

Career Goal: Exercise Physiologist for Cycling Canada

“My particular project is important as it fills a gap in current literature regarding measures of sleep apnea. Current measures of sleep apnea, like the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), are a crude and unrefined measure of sleep apnea inaccurately representing its duration and severity. Through this project, I hope to find relationships between AHI and several other variables to discover a more accurate and informative way to present sleep apnea severity.”
