Karrys Family Scholarship gave me the flexibility to excel in my swimming career after TFS. Becoming a national champion in the 400-metre individual medley race at the 2012 Canadian Inter-university Sports Championships was unforgettable."

Karrys Family Scholarship at graduation motivated her to pursue elite-level sports in university. Madlen attended Columbia University (New York City) and graduated in 2019. She played varsity squash while at Columbia, becoming team captain during her final two years and leading the team to its highest national finish in her senior year.
