Scholarships for Post-Secondary Students – Applications Open

Mar 10, 2020 | 9:45 AM

The Battlefords and District Community Foundation (BDCF) is now accepting applications for the Hazel Asmussen Fund and Peter Lewochko Fund annual scholarships. Students who will be attending post-secondary schools in September of this year are invited to apply.

The Hazel Asmussen Fund was established with BDCF in 2007. Hazel, a retired nurse and local artist, had long been involved in community building. She created this fund to help post-secondary fine arts students with their school expenses. Applicants are asked to submit the completed application along with samples of their work or performances.

The Peter Lewochko Fund was established to help students in engineering, education or agriculture. Peter was a local farmer who believed in the value of education and the need to support families in our community.

The deadline for both applications is Tuesday March 31 at 5pm. Applications are on the BDCF website at www.bdcf.ca . For more information please call/text 306-441-2961.

Community foundations across Canada create endowed funds that will provide annual income to meet needs in the community. Battlefords and District Community Foundation currently holds 24 funds that contribute to a range of interests from the arts and health care to post-secondary scholarships and recreation.
