Four central Island aboriginal students continue to purse their post-secondary education goals thanks in part to a scholarship from the Irving K. Barber British Columbia Scholarship Society.
Ann Seaweed of Lantzville, Nanaimo’s Frank Broz and Jamie Coutts of Nanoose Bay attend Vancouver Island University
Nanoose Bay’s Natasha Wawrykow is going to school at the University of British Columbia.
The four are among 167 aboriginal students in B.C. to receive between $1,000 and $5,500 each to support studies in B.C. colleges and universities.
The society works with the Victoria Foundation to provide scholarships to students.
