About the Donor
The Peter & Sylvia Soh Study Award has been established by Melissa Kay Soh (BAcc, 2012) in honour and appreciation of her loving parents who have been an integral part of the respectable person she has become. Before his passing, Melissa's father, Peter, was President Director at a leading bank, and Melissa's mother, Sylvia, an educator for life, both inspirational figures and contributors to society. That is the standard that Melissa has held herself to, and above all things, to strive to be a good person every day especially when no one is looking. It is in this spirit and hope that this study award has been established. May the recipients go forth to dream big, perform bigger and Be The Change.
