We are pleased to offer two student bursaries of $1,500 and $1,000 from the Robert and Minnie (Beals) Sowerby Fund. These are available to 2023 high school graduates from Kings and Annapolis counties, who are planning to pursue post-secondary education in a healthcare related field. Applications must be received by May 1, 2023. More information and specific application instructions can be found in the link below.
Last year’s $1500 recipient, Chloe Ann Gavel, has a passion for working hard and striving to achieve results. With a dedication to her hobby of weightlifting, Chloe has found a discipline that supports her mental health and wellness. Her goal is to pursue an education in nursing to support and educate others in finding similar roads to enhance their health.
She says, “I am confident that nursing is the correct path for me. I know challenges will arise, but every day will be different. … I want to be able to help people.” With the help of the Sowerby Student Award, Chloe attended Dalhousie University this past year, completing the first step towards her goal of becoming a nurse.
