Manitoba Canola Growers are proud to announce their 2017 high school scholarship winners. Five $1000 scholarships have been awarded to these deserving students from across Manitoba.
This year’s recipients are;
- Naomi Best, Harding, MB. She is planning to attend the University of Saskatchewan to take animal bioscience.
- Kate Letexier, Fisher Branch, MB. She is planning to attend the University of Manitoba to take agriculture and food science.
- Carrie Livingston, Starbuck, MB. She is planning to attend the University of Manitoba to take part in the Asper School of Business.

The $1,000 scholarships are available to students who are from a farm that is a member of the Manitoba Canola Growers and are planning to attend post-secondary education in any field within two years of graduating. Students submitted their applications, which were then judged by an independent panel, based on academic standing, canola connection, references, essay submission and school and community involvement.
Congratulations to this year’s winners! We wish you the best of luck as you pursue your chosen careers.
