Single mother receives scholarship and hopes to give back to her community
An Indigenous scholarship recipient hopes to use her knowledge to contribute to the community and as a single mother, build a better foundation for her kids.
Shona Poitras received the Northwest College (NWC) Board of Governors Entrance Scholarship and the Gordon Tucker Memorial Scholarship in April this year, totalling $3,250.
“I’m 38 years old, and I want to further my education and be a role model for them (her children),” she said.
“I want my kids to know it’s not too late to try to become something good.”
