2 Wawa Students Receive Special Scholarships

A pair of Wawa students are being honoured with special scholarships.

The Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon says sixteen students across the board were 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".

The recipients include two graduates of Wawa's Ecole secondaire Saint-Joseph, Indiana-Lou Impératori and Mathieu Lafrenière, both of whom were announced late last month as recipients of "Vision Scholarships" of $500 for reflecting the board's vision of "thriving French-language Catholic students, proud and ready to take place in their society".
