Two local students have some extra cash in their pocket as they head off to college and university in the fall, thanks to the St Clair Region Conservation Authority.
Brandon Jordan from WDSS and Jared Newport from Lambton Kent Composite School are this year’s winners of the AW Campbell Memorial Scholarship.
Jordan is preparing to head off to Lindsay in the fall to study Fish and Wildlife Technology at Sir Sandford Fleming College, while Newport is enrolled in the biodiversity and conservation program at Western.
The scholarship, aimed at recent high school graduates who have demonstrated high academic standing and involvement in environmental initiatives, comes with $1000 to go toward the recipients’ post-secondary education.
