Global Esquire Canada
Global Esquire Canada is a mission-focused social enterprise. GEC aims to promote and be a resource center for study abroad opportunities, specifically for students who wish to study Law and Law-related degrees in the UK.
Through its Non-for-Profit mentorship scholarship program, Global Esquire Canada Mentorship Program (GECMP), will make a much-needed counselling and mentoring contribution to aspiring legal professionals in the BIPOC community.
The organization was created by Sara Bond, LLB, LLM, TEP, a member of the Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) community.
Each year GEC offers a mentorship program providing up to 25 aspiring BIPOC professionals from SI-UK with mentoring and counselling on legal and Law-related careers. Additionally, Two students (as of 2023) receive a $2,500 scholarship to fund their studies at Law School in the UK and access to key professional networks through an extensive Mentorship program.
Congratulations from SI-UK to Lida Shulman and Sharanpreet Sandhu recipients of the $2,500 scholarship award. We would also like to say well done to SI-UK Law applicant Denziel Henry who has been named as the winner of the 2023 Pearson Internship.
