Some students attending secondary and post-secondary schools in the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George will get some extra help covering the rising costs of tuition.
“After putting two daughters through post-secondary who lived away… thank you for the support of young students ,” board chairperson Art Kaehn said. The regional district has offered bursaries to College of New Caledonia students since 1988, and created a second bursary for CNC students in 2005, as well as a bursary for UNBC students.
