Sholape Animashaun Scholarship Grant

Sholape Animashaun was born Sholape Rashidat Arigbabu on May 6, 1965. She migrated to Canada in 1995 in order to join her husband. They were blessed with a beautiful daughter, Aminat, and two lovely boys, Mohammed and Abdullai

While in Canada, she worked at CIBC and TD banks. However, her burning desire to become a nurse where she could trade her skill for humanity, especially for sick people, pushed her into a four-year nursing degree program at George Brown College and Ryerson University in Toronto. She completed the program in 2008 and was working at Brampton Hospital when she suddenly took ill and died at the early age of 45 years.

She was a caring mother, kind-hearted, and loved by all. Apart from her husband and kids, she left behind a father, mother, and siblings. Although Shola did not have sickle cell disease, her family continues to grant a scholarship for youth with sickle cell disease in her memory
