RDNO considering changes to scholarship

The Regional District of the North Okanagan is considering a revamp to their student scholarship.

The $500 scholarship is currently offered to students involved in 4H clubs, but the district says that finding people to apply has been a struggle.

” It’s not getting a lot of traction as far as applicants or even publicity, we are looking at not getting rid of it but maybe changing it,” said Chair Kevin Acton.

At the board meeting on Wednesday the district discussed opening the scholarship up to high school students entering the agriculture or forestry field after graduation.
