The º£½ÇÂÒÂ× Foundation held its annual student awards celebration recently at the Tourism and Culinary Centre. Approximately 300 scholarships, bursaries, and awards, totaling more than $350,000 were given out this academic year.
The event, sponsored by PepsiCo Beverages, recognized the hard work, academic excellence, volunteerism, community service, leadership skills, and professional promise of º£½ÇÂÒÂ× students. Approximately 150 donors support scholarships, bursaries, and awards, and their commitment and generosity were also celebrated at the event.
