“Supporting our graduating students with scholarships is a way of showing our appreciation for the hard work, dedication and volunteering that these individuals have done through their years in the division,” said Chair, Heather Lewchuk of the Red Deer Regional Catholic Education Foundation, in a press release. “This is a way of saying, ‘thank-you’ for making our school communities the success that they are. By supporting their post-secondary education with scholarships, it is an investment in not only their future, but also where they will continue to work, volunteer and serve.”
