The St. Anne's Second- ary School senior is one of roughly 40 students in the university's incoming class of 2015-2016 to be awarded a Chancellor's Scholarship, which grants a recipient $36,000 over the course of their four- year undergraduate program. "It's pretty gratifying," Fonseca told the Expositor in an interview on March 11. "It just meant that the last four years and all I've done - all the extra curric- ulars I've been involved with and hard work I've put in (my) academics - paid off." Fonseca, who will be studying neuroscience at the Kingston, Ont. school, was told about his lucra- tive win in January follow- ing a lengthy application process that required applicants to pen several essays and be nominated by their high school. The essays for the schol- arship focused on the ethos behind the prize, namely excellence in aca- demics, creativity and leadership. Applicants were also required to attract the support of sev- eral referees to support and endorse their bid. To snag the coveted scholarship, Fonseca had to beat out about 5,000 other applicants among the 20,000 students set to start their studies at Queen's this fall. In addition to his aca- demic exploits, the Seaforth native is an avid volunteer that lends a helping hand to several organizations in the region, including the Stratford General Hospi- tal's emergency depart- ment and the local chap- ter of Canadian Blood Services. He also boasts an exten- sive record of involvement in extracurricular activi- ties at St. Anne's, where he sits as Prime Minister of the school's student cabi- net and a leading member of the Social Justice Club, in addition to several other posts. Fonseca said he is already eyeing a future career in medicine, either in neuropharmaceuticals or in the closely related psychiatry field. "Neuroscience is the kind of the last frontier of science; it's the last given mystery in science," he said of his passion for the field, which studies the human nervous system. While some students may have seen the schol- arship win as an opportu- nity to rest on their laurels for the remainder of the year, Fonseca is already turning his focus to gain- ing fast-track admission to medical school at Queen's. As part of the mail pack- age announcing he had been awarded the scholar- ship, Fonseca also received an application to the first in Canada program, which allows a small number of students to directly gain entrance to medical school after only two years in an undergraduate program. While he declares that his chances of winning acceptance are slim, it'd be tough to bet against this budding, young local talent.
