Mission Community Foundation held its annual bursary/scholarship awards yesterday evening (May 4) at the Clarke Theatre.
Seventy-four recipients were presented with a grand total of $93,000. Bursaries and scholarships span academics, arts and trades. There were several new funds added this year and some students received multiple awards.
Anyone can contribute to these funds at any time, or establish a new fund to grow a lasting legacy, today and for tomorrow. Call 604-826-5322 for information.
