Student Awards
INTRODUCTION
THANK YOU TO OUR NLC DONORS
Each year the NLC Foundation provides over $500,000
in entrance awards, emergency funds, scholarships and
bursaries.
With these funds, we are able to help our students stay in
school and to acknowledge their commitment and success.
None of this would be possible without the many
individuals, organizations, businesses, and corporations
who donate to the NLC Foundation each year.
It is an honour to carry out the wishes of our donors and to
help serve the students of Northern Lights College.
I would like to sincerely thank all of our donors who have
made this year’s awards booklet possible and to wish all of
our students a wonderful school year.
Sincerely,
Donna Kane
Executive Director
Northern Lights College Foundation
