Fund Type: Scholarships & Bursaries
Community: Prince George
The parents of Jan Ullstrom reminded him of the importance of education: that nobody can take it away from you and that you take it with you wherever you go. Jan emigrated from Sweden in 1957 to Vancouver. He pursued his education there, became a Chartered Accountant, and he and his wife, Barbara, moved to Prince George in 1963. This award is his way to pay back to his new country for the opportunities it offered him. This annual bursary is awarded to a financially disadvantaged student in School District 57, who graduates from an alternative education program and who wants to continue their studies.
