Pascal Siakam, the all-star forward who was just traded from the Toronto Raptors to the Indiana Pacers, grew up in Cameroon with a father who valued education above all else. To honour his father’s legacy, Siakam’s PS43 Foundation created a scholarship program at UNB for students from his home country. 

The scholarship is a game-changer for Cedrick Tahmo, a second-year computer science student who started at UNB after doing three years at the University of Bamenda in Cameroon. Read more about Pascal's gift, and watch a documentary from Sportsnet here
