Bachelor of Music Therapy Student Wins National Scholarship 

We are very pleased to announce that Capilano University student, Supriya Crocker, is the recipient of the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund Scholarship.  The Trust Fund offers this annual scholarship to the top fourth year student studying Music Therapy in any of the six Canada programs, based on the following criteria:  leadership, academic excellence, innovation and creativity.  Capilano Music Therapy students have won this award for the last three years in a row.

Supriya was excited to apply for this award, and used her background (Bachelor's of Biological Sciences) along with her extensive learning in the Capilano University Bachelor of Music Therapy to put forward an excellent submission.  The Trust Fund selection committee was impressed with her application, and noted that the caliber of applications for the scholarship this year was particularly high.  Supriya is honoured to be recognized in this way, and hopes to make a difference in the profession of Music Therapy when she graduates.

Supriya and her husband recently celebrated the birth of their first baby, so Supriya will be completing her internship in 2012 at the G.F. Strong Rehabilitation Centre in Vancouver.

Last year, Capilano Music Therapy student Mara Sawchyn, won the Trust Fund Scholarship, and the year before, Sheila Harry, another Capilano Music Therapy student, received the award.
