A pair of Wawa students are being honoured with special scholarships.
The Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon says seventeen students across the board have been awarded a "Bishop Alexander Carter Foundation Scholarship" valued at $1000 each - the scholarship recognizes Catholic secondary school graduates in the Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie who "distinguished themselves as [an]: enlightened believer, effective communicator, thoughtful thinker, independent learner, collaborator, considerate person, and responsible citizen".
Two graduates of Wawa's Ecole secondaire Saint-Joseph - Haley Fortin and Matthew Schumacher - are among the recipients - Fortin also received a "Vision Scholarship" of $500 for reflecting the board's vision of "thriving French-language Catholic students, proud and ready to take place in their society".
