You can help a local high school student get a scholarship for her university studies, and also secure funding for the Dauphin Regional Comprehensive Secondary School.

All you have to do is click here and vote for DRCSS’ grade 12 student Oksana Iwanchysko.

Oksana has applied for the G3 Grow Beyond Scholarship, which awards $4,000 to students pursuing post-secondary education in agriculture studies. Another $1,000 is awarded to the student’s high school, in this case, the DRCSS.

Oksana will be attending the University of Manitoba next year to study Agroecology and looks forward to a career as an agronomist.

She says it would mean a lot if she could help her high school secure money to benefit future students.

“I think it would be amazing for the DRCSS to receive this money and use to make advancements in things like vocational programming. It would be amazing if my efforts could be useful in giving back.”

Oksana explains the point system for the scholarship is partially based on voting. She has also submitted a video explaining her vision of the future of agriculture in Canada.
