This year's scholarship is $1,002.

Tiandra Ewanchuk and Kathleen Foreman were awarded scholarships from the Peter Lewochko Fund. This competition is open to students taking agriculture, education or engineering. Both winners will be attending the University of Saskatchewan. Tiandra is graduating from John Paul II Collegiate and entering the College of Agriculture and Animal Biosciences. Kathleen has taken her first year of classes at North West Regional College and is entering the College of Education. Each was awarded $3,580.

BDCF creates endowed funds using donations from the community. Donations are put into a permanent endowment and only the annual income is used for the grant. The principal stays in the endowment forever.

The Battlefords and District Community Foundation currently holds 19 funds that will provide funding for a range of interests from the arts and health care to high school scholarships and recreation. The foundation website at www.bdcf.ca has complete information.
