Reeve Brian Campbell congratulates Noah Frazer on being this year’s recipient of the Tay Valley History Scholarship. Noah received a cheque in the amount of $1,000 and a copy of the legacy book At Home in Tay Valley.
Noah is a graduate of Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) and was named Valedictorian by his graduating class. He is pursuing his studies in Life Sciences at the University of Toronto (U of T).
This scholarship is a concrete way to underscore the importance of understanding history in contemporary society. It is awarded annually to a student graduating from Perth & District Collegiate Institute or St. John Catholic High School, who has been accepted into a post-secondary program. Recipients must exhibit a keen interest in history, an ability to think critically, communicate effectively, and demonstrate a range of accomplishments and/or experiences.
Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, community groups and individuals, as well as the proceeds from At Home in Tay Valley sales, this scholarship will be awarded annually for years to come. Scholarship funds are administered by the Perth and District Community Foundation, on behalf of Tay Valley Township.
