"Absolutely
the most life-altering experience our daughter has had."
Michael Murray (Shad Parent)
The Shad
Valley program is hosted by some of Canada's best universities (Dalhousie
is one of them). Deadline for applications is Dec. 9, 2005.
|
Participants
from grades 11 and 12 spend the month of July at one of twelve
excellent universities across Canada, where they attend lectures and
workshops, and get involved in group projects. Some go on to five weeks of
paid work with Shad partner
companies, combining their own talents with the skills honed at Shad
to tackle real-world challenges.
|
Our candidates tend to be creative and talented
individuals––musicians, inventors, and young businesspeople––with
strong leadership skills, the ability to work in a team, and solid
academic records, particularly in math and science.
