2023 Joan Donaldson CBC News Scholarship Bio:
Aloysius Wong is a Toronto-born and -based journalist with Filipino roots and an affinity for storytelling across several mediums.
He entered St. Michael's Choir School at the age of seven, where he developed a love for the arts — especially music, photography, and the written word.
Aloysius's passion for journalism became solidified when, in 2019, he saw the firsthand impact of The National's in-depth coverage of the mental health crisis at the University of Toronto, where he was an undergraduate student. There, he contributed to campus publications The Mike and The Strand, before graduating with an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Peace, Conflict and Justice studies with a minor in Computer Science.
He then completed the Master of Journalism program at Toronto Metropolitan University, where he worked as a teaching assistant for undergraduate journalism courses, multimedia specialist for the stitched! live journalism lab, digital editor for The Otter, and senior editor for the Review of Journalism. 
Professionally, Aloysius has worked as an associate producer for CBC Radio's As It Happens, photojournalist and community producer for The Green Line, and freelancer for CityNews, America Magazine, and J-Source.
He hopes to tell stories that build empathy and solidarity between people and communities of diverse backgrounds.
