Dr. Lombardi announced that there are plans to introduce a similar scholarship for elementary students; it would be for Glanbrook and Stoney Creek residents going into high school. The scholarship will be open to all grade 8′s entering high school – living in the Glanbrook, Upper Stoney Creek Ontario regions. Two winners will be picked based on an essay writing contest. The students will have a choice of selecting one of two prizes: money towards a gift card to purchase school supplies, or money towards a long-term savings vehicle at their local banking institution.
“The purpose of this scholarship is that students realize the concept of strong effort producing rewards and the value of hard work and the importance of investing in themselves to ensure a viable future,” said Lombardi.
