OAK BAY NEWS – Funding $11,000 a year for up to 4 years, the monetary support also comes with mentors.
Oak Bay High boasts three Beedie Luminaries in its graduating class of 2023.
Reed Greenwood, Francis Meacham and Jasper Palov each earned a Beedie Luminary Scholarship. It’s an award that supports kids who show grit, determination and heart in overcoming obstacles in life and supports them in reaching post-secondary goals, said teacher Scott Alexander, whose duties include scholarship prep at the secondary school.
“What I so appreciate about the Beedie Luminaries is that they really listen to these kids’ stories and sought to understand what their respective desires and goals are, and then they really lean into the support for these kids,” Alexander said. “to earn three of these awards that are offered province-wide is exceptional – I am so proud of these kids.”
