🎓 Supporting Local Students! 🎓

We are proud to announce that $12,880 has been awarded to 24 local students through the PES Fall Bursary! 💙

Each year, we’re excited to see the impact of this bursary continue to grow, helping more students from our community pursue their education and reach their goals.

One of the great things about the PES Bursary is that eligible students can apply up to three times per year, providing ongoing support throughout their education. Whether it helps with tuition, books, supplies, or other education costs, every bit of support can make a difference.

Congratulations to all 24 of our fall bursary recipients! We’re proud to be part of your educational journey and can’t wait to see where it takes you. 🎓✨
