#6 Peter Hunt - $200
Vancouver Office - Queen’s University
"For me, Vector has redefined the words 'Job,' 'Line of work,' and 'Summer Employment.' Vector
goes beyond being a source of income, a daily task, or a line you throw on your resume. Has a
regular 'Job' ever allowed you to cover school tuition and the price of a car? Has it provided the time
to train for a university sports team and still hang out with your family and friends? Vector allowed
me to achieve this and fine-tuned me into a more knowledgeable, motivated and productive
individual. Most importantly – Vector is about challenging yourself and pushing limits. I used to think
having a 'Job' limited me. I was wrong!"

#7 Jennifer Lo - $200
Red Deer Office - Mount Royal College
"The summer of 2008 has been the greatest experience of all time! The opportunity to run my own
business as a Branch Office in Red Deer was amazing. To add to my list of accomplishments - I
finished the summer as the #2 Branch office in Canada and I am the only person in Canada that
has won a scholarship while running a Branch office! I am glad to say I worked hard this summer
and every bit of work was worth the reward. The experience I've gained can not even be compared
to all the courses I've taken in school. I have gained a tremendous amount of experience in every
aspect of the business world and this summer has also impacted my personal life for the better. I
am really glad I took on this challenge of running my own business. I'd like to thank everyone in
Vector that was rooting for me - I am excited for what the fall will bring!"

#8 Jessica Johnson - $200
Calgary Office - University of Alberta
"Working with Vector was one of the most amazing, busy and exciting summers of my life. I was
completely in control of every penny I made and I loved meeting new people. It gave me
speaking abilities and confidence that I know I will be able to use in the future. I was always
excited to go to work ...not just for the money, but the amazing friends I ended up making and
the life lessons that will stick with me forever! I loved this job, so much! I can’t express what an
amazing opportunity it was and how awesome the product is!!"

#9 Alena Leinweber - $200
Red Deer Office - University of Alberta
"This is my third scholarship with Vector and I am very excited about it! It is always great to get
recognized and receive an extra bonus just for doing your job. Vector has shown me that anything
is possible! Anything I want to do I can achieve if I put my mind to it. The one thing I really enjoy
about Vector is the flexibility I have and the work ethic it has taught me. The financial opportunities
for a full-time student are endless; whatever you are willing to put in is what you will get out of it.
Additionally, I have met some amazing people and have had the opportunity to go on some
awesome trips! I could not have achieved this without the help of my managers - they always
believed in me even when I thought I had given up!"

#10 Eric Ethridge - $200
London Office - University of Western Ontario
"Scholarship round two baby! This summer with Vector has been amazing! Everything from a trip
to St. Louis to white water rafting on the Ottawa River. My time with Vector has been extremely
valuable - it has taught me many skills including time management, work ethic, goal setting, and
most of all has motivated me to enhance every area of my life. It has improved my people skills and
given me the freedom to pay for school, as well as play football and enjoy my social life! The last
seven months have definitely been life changing. I'd like to thank Lindsay Allery, my manager;
Aaron Prasad, my AM; and DVM Damian Olson, NSM Joe Cardillo, and my parents for letting me
use their car all summer!"
