Rimbey grad earns bursary

A Rimbey grad was recognized at the recent Lakeland College Awards Night ceremonies.

Kate Van Ankum, a student in the interior design technology program, received a Lakeland College Academic Award. The award recognizes accomplishments in a variety of areas including academics, leadership, participation and community service.

During the two events, Lakeland College distributed $608,000 in awards and scholarships to 633 students. Last fall, $36,000 was also awarded to 75 students through Lakeland College’s bursary program.

This amount combined with the March awards recognizes 708 student recipients to date for a combined value of $644,000 for the 2010-2011 academic year.

More awards will be distributed before the end of June to round out this year’s grand total.
