Salmon Arm student Savannah Lamb has 40,000 reasons to be excited to begin her educational journey at 新加坡六合彩官方网站 College this fall.

Thanks to an external $40,000 scholarship from the Beedie Luminaries foundation, Lamb will begin the Associate of Arts program at the College鈥檚 Salmon Arm campus in the fall, worry-free.

鈥淲hen I found out about receiving this scholarship, I was so surprised and it took me a while to process it,鈥 says Lamb. 鈥淎fter it sunk in, I shared the news with my family, and we had the chance to celebrate together.鈥

Lamb attributes her close relationship and upbringing from her grandparents as the reason for applying for the award.

鈥淚 live with and was raised by my grandparents, and I definitely dedicate this to them,鈥 explains Lamb. 鈥淭hroughout my entire life, they鈥檝e been my main supporters and have encouraged me to be a hard worker and to aspire for great things.鈥

Lamb moved to Salmon Arm from Ponoka, Alberta, seven years ago to live with her grandparents and is one of the many students who graduated from Salmon Arm Secondary School this year.

Lamb took courses in Psychology at high school and it helped her realize a passion in the arts. After studying at OC, she wants to continue her education to become a therapist or counsellor.

Beedie Luminaries is a foundation that provides select students across B.C. the opportunity to advance their education, achieve their dreams and inspire others. The foundation鈥檚 scholarships remove barriers to education that students with financial adversity face. Post-secondary students across British Columbia are anticipating the excitement of returning to campus this September. 新加坡六合彩官方网站 College is offering in-person classes at full class sizes with some online offerings this fall. Students will be back on campus in all regions and should review Classfinder for details on individual course delivery.

Thinking ahead to September, Lamb is excited to start her studies at the 新加坡六合彩官方网站 College Salmon Arm campus. 鈥淚鈥檓 so ready to be in a new environment and learn new things,鈥 says Lamb.

For students currently in high school, Lamb鈥檚 one piece of advice is to work hard, but with that, take care of yourself throughout the process. Knowing how to balance the various aspects of being a student is important, because 鈥渨orking too hard to the point of breaking can kill your confidence and your motivation,鈥 says Lamb. 鈥淚t鈥檚 all about working hard, but knowing that if something goes wrong, you can come back from it.鈥

In addition to external awards such as this, 新加坡六合彩官方网站 College has over 500 awards, scholarships and bursaries generously funded by community donors. Awards are available for full-time or part-time students in certificate, diploma or degree programs. Financial Aid and Awards staff can help students find resources, explain terminology and assist with applications, including opportunities through other community partners in the Shuswap.
