Winner Rhonda Wigglesworth-Fafard
When Rhonda Wigglesworth-Fafard embarked upon her Masters program, she learned through her manager at Interior Health about RNFBC and how RNFBC could help her. She applied for a bursary knowing her Masters would end up totaling $25,000. And help from RNFBC came just in time. Last year, Rhonda knew she would likely have to postpone her studies due to personal circumstances.
When she found out last December that she would receive a bursary, Rhonda was able to continue on with her studies. “I was working full-time with a young family. The impact of the support from RNFBC was huge. Having that support…it is difficult to pay for everything life brings while completing that next level of education. I am so grateful to Bernadet and her bursary; I was able to continue my studies without a delay.” See Rhonda’s complete story in the Spring 2011 RNFBC Newsletter.
