Chatelech Secondary Student Nardeen Ibrahim Named 2025 Loran Scholar
SUNSHINE COAST, BRITISH COLUMBIA – We are thrilled to share that Nardeen Ibrahim from Chatelech Secondary, Sunshine Coast School District 46 has been named a 2025 Loran Scholar.
This year, the Loran Scholars Foundation selected 36 exceptional youth from more than 6,000 applicants who have demonstrated they have embraced the challenge of leaving the world better than they found it. As graduating high school and Cégep students, the pursuits and accomplishments of the newest Loran Award recipients are exemplary, but it is their values-driven approach to leading and their dedication to uplifting their communities that distinguish them as Loran Scholars.
As secretary of Chatelech’s Social Justice Club, Nardeen has helped lead food drives, clothing drives, and other community fundraising initiatives. She’s also involved in school leadership, grad council, and the yearbook team, and has coached the Grade 8 girls’ volleyball team. Outside of school, she volunteers at a local retirement home and has held part-time jobs in both a pharmacy and a pizza shop.
Loran firmly believes empowering values-driven youth is the key to a brighter future for us all. Looking beyond marks, our mission is to find young people with character—those who display the courage to push boundaries and challenge the status quo, a commitment to service that improves the lives of others, and who have intrinsic leadership potential.
Loran Scholars benefit from a four-year, comprehensive leadership-enrichment program, tuition waivers at one of 25 university partners, financial support, and a network of values-driven peers and mentors—unlike anything else offered in this country.
