These successful candidates will now be following their dreams to enrol in a range of healthcare related studies from Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacology to Kinesiology at post-secondary institutions including the Universities of Saskatchewan, Regina, Manitoba, Alberta and Lethbridge, as well as Colleges such as Red Deer and Great Plains College.
Since the initial intake had such an overwhelming response the McIntyre Family Foundation, founded and headquartered in Southwest Saskatchewan has decided to refocus its efforts in the Southwest region.
