#1. STEWART McISACK - $1,000
Vancouver Office - Kwantlen University College
"A wise person once told me that in order to be succesful, a person needs to surround themselves with
great people. With that in mind, I would like to thank a great number of people, some of who are
colleagues and peers like Sibylle Stipp and Matt Jarvis. Others are managers and friends like Geoff
Grimsdick, Chad Mah, Angie Macdougall, and Joe Cardillo. Others, yet, are cheerleaders and who
often get less credit than they deserve like Janet Damen, Jennifer Posadas, and Rhancha Connell.
Lastly, but not least, thaks to the Home Office staff who continually deal with my constant phone calls.
To all of you I owe a big thank you! So, THANK YOU! But most of all I would like to thank Vector as a
whole. This is an organization that prides itself on the development of its people, and who always are
looking for ways to provide that for their staff. Scholarships are only a small part of the Vector package,
but it certainly shows a great deal about its character. I know I feel blessed to be working with Vector on
a daily basis, and I hope everyone reading this feels the same way."

#2. KRISTY BROWN - $500
Calgary Office - University of Calgary
"Wow! What a year! I've learned so much, and the greatest part about Vector is that it has grown with
me. It has been an honour to be a North American FSM Advisory Board Member, Can Rock Sales
Promotion Manager, and an FSM this year, and a soon-to-be nurse. I am certain that the skills I've
acquired with Vector will serve me well in my professional career. Someone once wrote: It is better to
travel than to arrive. What an incredible four year journey it has been thus far. Thanks Vector!"

#3. ZACK PALMER - $400
Burloak Office - University of Western Ontario
"This fall was full of surprises, but all in all I pulled through, and hit my goal of Top 5. Thanks Trent for
helping me stay motivated with various contests; Sherri for involving me with the Western Fair, and
Brent for providing some healthy competition! The reps in this scholarship race were extremely tough
to compete with, so thanks to all those who competed against me (and Kristy, you will not beat me by
$100 again, that's for sure)! See you all at the top in 2005!"

#4. PHIL ALSOP - $300
Calgary Office - Mount Royal College
"My experience while working for Vector/Cutco has been a magnificent rollercoaster of fun, great business
experience and making good money. At first I had a hard time believing that selling knives and related
household accessories could be made into a great career. Now I have learned through personal experience
that it can make people lots of money and make dreams come true. As a business student at Mount Royal
College I am currently learning about the fundamentals of a successful business and what good companies
are doing and/or need to do. It is great to be working for a company that does all these things and have a
major focus on making their representatives and managers better people and successful. While working
with the company I have had an opportunity to travel across Canada from B.C to Montreal and also into the
U.S.A. I haven’t had to take out any student loans since I’ve been with the company, and have met some
awesome people that I enjoy working with and can see myself continuing to work with in the future. I would
recommend this unique opportunity to anyone who is accepted for training, to build their resume, skills,
experience and financial situation."

#5. MARIO VETRO - $200
Vancouver Office - Corpus Christi College at U.B.C.
"Looking back, when I first got out of training, I knew that there was a lot to shoot for in Vector: FSM, making half, winning
trophies and scholarships, advancing into management, etc. I was wondering what it would take to achieve any of these
and I did not know what I was capable of. Now, here I am, a year and a half later: I'm an FSM, I make half, I have won
trophies, won the #9 Scholarship last spring, the #5 Scholarship this winter, and I am in a position to be Pilot Manager for
the summer. My Vector experience has changed my life. To achieve the success and accolades I have achieved in Vector
took a lot of hard work. It has made me a better person and I have learned so much about myself. To get to where I am
was not easy and there are many people that helped me get there and need to be thanked: my manager Chad Mah for
always pushing me; Sibylle Stipp forher guidance, advice and paquette; Sandy Rosen for teaching me everything he knew;
Paul Albrighton for providing great competition; my rep referrals Jason and Pavel; my family and friends for always
being there, and my girlfriend, Lauren, for her constant support and inspiration. Vector has provided me with an
awesome opportunity and it has been a blast selling CUTCO, the best product in the world."
