Scholarship/Bursary Program
Although the Reston & Area Foundation was granted charity status in 2004, only interest from the fund could be expended.
It was not until 2006 that the Board could begin dispensing funds.
The first program was for scholarships or bursaries to deserving high school graduates.
The Winnipeg Foundation and Manitoba Hydro offered matching contributions and in 4 years $9,850 was received to supplement our $20,000 deposited in the fund.
