HCSW Students Honoured
Two Douglas College Health Care Support Worker students were honoured with the BC Old Age Pensioners Scholarship. Betty Bolton, Society President said she hopes that Jennifer Hull and Lynn Blatta will "continue to enjoy their work".
Jennifer and Lynn submitted applications in the Fall 2009 semester for the scholarship and were surprised in late January in their Introduction to Mental Health and Cognitive Disorders class to be honored as this year's recipients. They each recieve $500. The BC offshoot of the Old Age Pensioners Society was established 26 years ago as part of the 50th anniversary for the Old Age Pensioner's Scholarship Society. Betty Bolton said they are proud to be able to assist Gerontology students all over BC, with $4,000 in scholarships annually.
