The Georgian College Alumni Association honours two recipients
annually with the Child of Alumni Scholarship. The scholarship is
provided to students who demonstrate academic excellence and
financial need, and who are also the children of Georgian alumni.
The 2020 recipients of the scholarship are: Gracii Partridge and
Crystal Roy. Both recipients have impressive credentials and are
the children of proud Georgian graduates.
Gracii is currently in her first year of Welding Techniques at
the Midland Campus. Her mother, Lia (Heidi) Saastamoinen
graduated with a Business certificate and Skills of Helping
certificate in 1998.
"This has helped me by paying off what I needed paid off for the
semester and the rest went to things needed for the household,"
says Gracii.
Crystal is in her third year of the Honours Bachelor of Interior
Design program at the Barrie Campus. Her mother, Arcangela
(Angela) Roy graduated with a Teaching and Training Adults
certificate in 2013.
"This scholarship was put toward my tuition cost," says Crystal. "It
helped me a lot this year. As with a lot of people, I have been out
of work, and because the scholarship paid the rest of my tuition,
cost wasn't as much of a struggle for me."
