This past Saturday St. Peter's College held their annual awards and scholarship event.

This year, thanks to financial assistance from alumni and supporters they were able to provide over $70,000 to 55 students. The scholarships and bursaries were between the values of $250-$7,000.

Student Services Officer Andrew Hartman stated in a news release that he is a fan of the collaboration that's involved in the event.

"I love the connection that the event brings. Not very often do donors have the opportunity to witness the impact they are making with their contributions, and on the flip-side it isn’t common for students to be able to meet the people who are helping change their lives."

The awards are given to students that are both entering the facility in Muenster of moving on to the University of Saskatchewan after attending St. Pete's.
