PRINCE GEORGE – Two international students attending UNBC have received, collectively, over $23,000 in scholarship funding for a group not often heard of.
The Philanthropic Education Organization included thousands of women across North America whose mandate is to help with the education of women. Christina Onabola and Hooi Xian Lee both received the scholarships under the P.E.O.’s International Peace Scholarship.
“The Prince George P.E.O. chapter is part of this large international network with close to 6,000 Chapters,” said Beth Quesnel, President of the Prince George P.E.O. “We enjoy fun and fellowship, while working toward our main goal, supporting women to pursue educational goals. We are thrilled that a significant amount of the P.E.O. funds are flowing into our community.”
Part of the conditions is that these women return to their home countries and use their education for good works and to further educate women. But it isn’t the only fund available.
