The Foundation is happy to announce the two recipients of the 2022 Stewart Genes Scholarships are Reagan Speer (pictured left) and Kassidy Virostek (pictured right).
Reagan was born and raised in Taber and is currently in her first year of the Bachelor of Nursing program at Lethbridge College. "Growing up, I always knew I wanted to do something that involved helping people," states Speer, " I feel that nursing is a career with so much reward and fulfillment."
Kassidy is a recent graduate of W.R Meyers High School in Taber. She will start her first year in the Bachelor of Nursing program at Medicine Hat College. Virostek states, "I decided to take nursing because nurses do much for our healthcare system. I wanted to give back to our community and patients by being an RN."
Congratulations to these aspiring nurses and we wish them all the best with their studies this year. The Stewart Genes Scholarship is funded in partnership with the Taber and District Foundation and provides financial assistance to those who are pursuing a post-secondary career in medical, nursing, or health sciences. Our hope is to relieve some of the financial pressure post-secondary can have on students and to encourage healthcare studies.
