Redcliff 2020 Scholarship Awards
The Redcliff Scholarship Committee for Advanced Education, is pleased to announce that Eagle Butte High School graduates Emily Stock and Clayton Lehr, and McCoy High School graduate Olivia Hordos-Goyer are the recipients of the 2020 Redcliff Scholarship Awards.
All three students will be attending post-secondary education programs this upcoming year in southern Alberta. Stock plans to obtain her commercial pilot license from Super T Aviation in Medicine Hat before continuing with flight instruction in Calgary, Lehr has enrolled at the University of Lethbridge College in Agriculture Sciences - Agronomy Diploma program with plans to also pursue courses in Business Administration and Animal Science, and Hordos-Goyer has enrolled at the Medicine Hat College in the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) winter 2021 program with plans of working towards a career as a critical care paramedic.
“This year’s recipients all have very different paths planned for their futures and it’s exciting to see that many of these options for continuing education are available in southern Alberta,” says Redcliff trustee and scholarship chairperson Arnold Frank. “This has been an incredibly unique year for all our graduates and the Redcliff Scholarship Committee is thrilled to be able to reward three exceptional students who showed determination and focus in their senior year, despite the challenges that existed. We wish them the best of luck in each of their chosen career paths.”
The three 2020 Redcliff Scholarships are for $5,000 each towards tuition costs for post-secondary studies. The Redcliff Scholarship Committee would like to recognize and dedicate this year’s awards to long-time supporter and original contributor David Thompson who passed away this past January.
The Redcliff Scholarships were established in 2002 and have been awarded to 39 Redcliff students. The awards are possible thanks to two endowed scholarship funds, that were established and are sustained by ongoing contributions of Redcliff organizations, and present and past Redcliff citizens. A third, Frank King Tribute Scholarship Fund, was announced in the spring of 2018 in memory of the late Frank King.
