For many, pursuing a degree is a challenging feat, and for Kanya Jackson-Taylor it has been doubly so as she has navigated grief and loss with resilience and determination to cop the 2024 Kenneth Chung Memorial MSc Accounting Scholarship. A young widow, single mother, small business owner, and full-time student, Jackson-Taylor has proven that with faith, perseverance, and a clear vision, it is possible to overcome life’s challenges and achieve one’s goals.
