In one of his last days as Premier, Brian Pallister announced gifts of nearly $260 thousand that will endow two new scholarships at Brandon University, and increase the value of existing scholarships he had previously endowed.
Pallister says he was raised with the strong belief that a quality education is essential to building a successful and prosperous future.
“I am thankful for the scholarships I received that allowed me to obtain a post-secondary education and even more thankful that our family can pay it forward to ensure more students are able to benefit from this additional assistance.”
One of the new scholarships will benefit male student-athletes, mirroring an existing scholarship that Pallister had established in 2014 to benefit female student-athletes.
The other new scholarship will benefit students who are coming to BU to finish a joint program with Assiniboine Community College.
