A recent graduate of the DRCSS has been awarded a $2,500 scholarship from 4-H Canada.
Oksana Iwanchysko has just started her studies of Agriculture, Animal System Specialization at the University of Saskatchewan — and says receiving the 2020 TD 4-H Agriculture Scholarship means a lot.
“Being rewarded for my hard work over the last few years … is really amazing because it helps relieve some of that financial stress associated with post-secondary and I can see that my work isn’t going unnoticed — it’s just amazing.”
Oksana tells CKDM reporters she gives a lot of credit to her parents for always pushing her to follow her passion.
“I always knew that I wanted to go into agriculture as my undergrad degree. A lot of that came from going on field tours, and going to conferences with my mom who works for Manitoba Agriculture. It’s where I found my passion, and something I really want to do,” she said.
