Cole had the following to say about winning a UFCW Canada - BDM Scholarship:

"This scholarship is very important to me, and I believe it will provide me with further motivation to succeed academically. It will also be a huge help in funding my education. I am extremely grateful that UFCW Canada has chosen me as a recipient of the BDM Scholarship. The money will be put to good use as I continue my journey here at Acadia University, not only as a student but also as an athlete on the school football team. With the stress that academics and athletics put on me, it is encouraging to know that UFCW believes in what I am doing here.”
