Applications for student awards through CFNWAB up sharply this year
The Community Foundation of Northwestern Alberta is currently in the midst of reviewing the 121 applications that they have received for student awards.
That is a sharp increase from the 49 applications they got last year.
Community Foundation CEO Laura Lavalley feels it is another sign that life is returning to normal following the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Students are looking at those post-secondary opportunities again, where they maybe had those ambitions on hold for some of them. We are also just seeing that the need is great, that these students are looking for support to go to post-secondary. We support students that are just out of high school but we also support mature students as well.”
