DPAC Dedicates Scholarship

by Barb Hobson

Hi,
 
I wanted you all to know:
 
At the DPAC meeting tonight the following motion was passed:
 
"That DPAC establish a scholarship trust fund in memory of its former President, Dulce Huscroft, in honour of the tremendous contribution she made to our organization as well as to students throughout the District."
 
The scholarship will be $500. annually in perpetuity.  The first year (1999) it will be given to a student from Gleneagle Secondary.  Thereafter it will  be available to any secondary school in the district.  The criteria for selection of the student recipient are to be developed by  the DPAC Executive in conjunction with the Huscroft family.  The scholarship will be awarded to the student upon proof of registration in a post-secondary institution.
 
It's exciting news, and a fitting tribute for Dulce.  DPAC will be accepting donations in order to make an annuity to support the scholarship.  However,  they have agreed to fund the scholarship, or the difference in the amount until the trust fund can be self-supporting so that it will be $500.00 the first year and thereafter as well.
 
Cheers,

Barb.
