Terry Fox Scholars are\u00a0\u2018doers\u2019<\/b>\u00a0with the ability to\u00a0inspire<\/b>\u00a0and make\u00a0a positive impact<\/b>\u00a0on the lives of others.<\/p>\n
In making their selection, the Terry Fox Foundation seriously considers the extent to which candidates have experienced and overcome what others might consider an insurmountable\u00a0obstacle<\/b>,\u00a0yet\u00a0are determined and\u00a0dedicated<\/b>\u00a0to helping others.<\/p>\n
While Terry\u2019s obstacle was a physical one, they consider any circumstance that requires a demonstration of courage<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0fortitude<\/b>. Indeed, a myriad of obstacles exist.\u00a0Tenacity in the face of adversity<\/b> is of the utmost importance to them.<\/p>\n
Although their Selection Committee will look for marks of distinction with regard to the persistent pursuit of excellence in academic, athletic, and civic life; these are not factors we weigh as heavily as courage and humanitarianism.<\/b><\/p>\n
