The Community Foundation of Central Alberta shared Thursday it has awarded more than $204,000 in scholarships to 39 students this year.

The scholarships are funded through endowments and annual donor contributions.

“Scholarships are transformative tools that can change the trajectory of a student’s life,” said Erin Peden, executive director.

“By reducing financial barriers to education, we’re not just funding tuition and books – we’re investing in dreams, potential, and the bright futures these students will create. Each scholarship recipient represents possibility, and we’re honoured to play a role in their educational journey.”
