Two students – one from UNBC and one from CNC – have been granted $1,000 by Tourism Prince George to go towards their tourism studies.
“Being able to support these two students so they can realize their dreams in the tourism and hospitality industry is incredible and just one way we want to give back to the community, and our industry,” said TPG CEO Colin Carson.
This year’s recipients were Sandeep Singh from CNC and Kayla McNeil from UNBC.
“It feels like more than just a financial aid; it’s a medal of recognition for my dedication to the tourism and hospitality sector,” said Singh, who came to Canada from India. “This acknowledgment inspires me to contribute even more to the industry, knowing that my efforts are valued and are making a positive impact.”
“The Tourism Prince George bursary has helped me to avoid student loans for my second year of studies,” McNeil, a second year student, said. “As I am the sole provider for my educational journey, donations like these help me tremendously to not worry if I will have enough funds to complete my degree.”
