Bondy presents Leadership Bursary to winner

by Sylene Argent

On Wednesday afternoon, after the unveiling of the Harrow Hawk Sculpture, Councillor Sherry Bondy took the opportunity to presented a $200 Leadership Bursary, from her own funds, to recent Harrow-area graduate, Megan Laporte.

  Bondy said she opened the application process up to students preparing to graduate high school from the Colchester/Harrow area. Next year, her application process will be opened up into Essex Centre as well, she said.

  As part of the application process, student submissions had to provide proof of registration to a college or university and an essay noting why they felt they were deserving of the funds.

  Bondy wanted to offer the bursary to help support a local student in furthering their education.
