The 2005 Oscar Fonseca Award was presented to Mr. Elliot Sales De Andrade. Elliott is in his second year in the Engineering Science program at the University of Toronto. Upon graduating from St. MichaelÂ’s College School in Toronto in June 2005, he was nominated for the Oscar Fonseca award, a G.O.A. scholarship based on academic merit. In recognition of his academic achievements, Elliott received the Governor General Medal of Canada which is presented annually to the graduating student with the highest academic standing, based on Grades 11 and 12 final standings. The G.O.A. scholarship committee gave Elliott special consideration for his extra-curricular participation at St. MichaelÂ’s College on various student clubs and peer tutoring, and his community involvement at his parish, Epiphany of Our Lord. He also supported one of the largest Goan events in our community, through his contribution of time and effort at the G.O.A. Viva Goa. At the University of Toronto, Elliott is involved in the BioMed iGEM team competition, which was recently held at MIT.
