Forty-one Carlton Trail College students received 44 scholarships worth $36,500.
Mikaela Blondeau, an office administration student, was one of the recipients at a Dec. 6 dinner hosted by the college.
“I enrolled in this program because working a minimum wage job was no longer cutting it for me,” she said. “I am a single mother to a little boy who is my pride and joy and he is the one who motivated me to get my butt in gear and go back to school.”
She thanked the donors on behalf of the 41 students.
“Please do note that the scholarships you sponsor do make a difference in our lives and make it easier to pursue our education, our goals and a career so that we too can contribute to the future.”
Shelley Romanysyn-Cross, the college’s president, said she felt proud as the students received their scholarships, that the work of applying for the scholarships was coming to fruition.
“When we’re starving students, things can be a little tough, so it’s a nice little treat to get that scholarship money,” she said.
Todd Goudy, the MLA for Melfort, spoke on behalf of the provincial government, which matches every donation to a scholarship.
“You’ve got potential and people see that potential in you,” he said. “People are willing to invest into your lives but the responsibility that lies on every one of your shoulders is to take your own education into your own hands, to be responsible for your own life. We’re depending on you and you are the future of this province.”
Coun. Owen Hopfner spoke on behalf of the City of Humboldt.
“You deserve to be recognized for your dedication to your studies and the hard work you did to achieve your goals and I hope all of you continue to be the best, top-rated person you can be for the rest of your life because that what makes it all worthwhile.”
