Parkland College students received a bit of help to make their academic goals a reality. The college gave out $88,800 worth of entrance scholarships for the upcoming school year. Nineteen scholarships were distributed among 18 students at the college.
Dwayne Reeve, president and CEO of Parkland College, says they are proud to be able to give a relatively large number of scholarships to support their students.
“One of the things that we are very fortunate is that our local community supports us significantly and then those dollars are matched by the provincial government. We always max out the matching amount, and we are very pleased that we have the support locally to allow us to do that.”
The next round of scholarships will see applications in December before being awarded in March. Reeve expects they will award significantly more money in the next group.
