The Langley School District Foundation collected $2700 in donations from November 1st to December 31st, 2023, through the campaign link online and individual cheques. These donations, combined with the earned interest on investments, will allow the Retired Educators to offer 7 secondary schools a scholarship to an applicant planning a career in education. The amount may need to be adjusted from year to year depending on the donations that are received, and the interest earned.
In addition, it will also award one successful graduating applicant the $1,000 Denny Ross Scholarship.
We will let you know the names of the students who are awarded the scholarships in the LRTA June newsletter.
We hope you will continue to support the Langley Retired Educators Scholarships in 2024 by donating through the following link:
Remember the donations are eligible for tax receipts. If donating online through the link, you can receive your tax receipt right away.
