Southeast College has announced its new scholarship partnership with Kingston Midstream. Kingston Midstream’s $5,000 contribution to the college’s Fuelling the Future program was matched by the Ministry of Advanced Education. Funding for this scholarship was made possible by the Government of Saskatchewan through the Saskatchewan Innovation and Opportunity Scholarship program.
Together Southeast College is able to create $10,000 in scholarships. Ten post- secondary students in Estevan were the first to benefit from this exciting new partnership.
This year’s recipients are Vladyslav Koziuchenko and Ethan Shirley (electrician); Jamie-Lynn Kerslake, Naomi Rossen, Shealyn Wenzel and Carla Yanyu (office administration); Carlin Pylychaty (welding); and Dawson Clunas, Mathew Sovdi and Myles Stepp (heavy equipment and truck and transport technician).
Southeast College’s Fuelling the Future program is designed to support full-time post-secondary students in pursuit of future industry careers. The program also allows industry to engage students for added educational value.
“Kingston Midstream is proud to be a financial support to the Southeast College Scholarship Fund. It is our mission to help build strong, safe communities, develop the next generation of community leaders and provide a skilled workforce for our industry, says Becky Cassidy, public affairs advisor for Kingston Midstream.
“Southeast College is grateful to Kingston Midstream for choosing to invest in our students and ultimately in the future workforce of their industry,” emphasized Jeff Richards, vice-president of strategic development for Southeast College. “All of our Fuelling the Future partnerships demonstrate a commitment to growing our communities and our economies through the power of education.”
The 2018-2019 programs that were eligible for the student scholarship through this partnership were: fourth class power engineering, electrician, heavy equipment and truck and transport technician, industrial mechanic, office administration, welding and University of Regina classes. Students who were enrolled in one of these programs and completed the online scholarship application were considered for the Kingston Midstream awards, as well as over $100,000 in additional scholarship and bursaries available at the college thanks to the support received from local donors and other industry partners.
