New student support fund established at CNC

PRINCE GEORGE — A new student support fund has been established at the College of New Caledonia.

This after Elsie Osterberg’s estate donated $41,481.70 to the college which will assist students experiencing emergency hardship.

“We know students who work very hard through their studies can run into unexpected financial challenges,” says Gail Little, CNC’s manager of student success and retention.

“We’re grateful for financial legacies like Elsie’s to make a difference in those times of need, and to enjoy the beautiful rug she created as a keepsake of her life.”

A long-term resident of Prince George, CNC says Elsie was a creative woman who liked to work with her hands. That creativity took a variety of forms, from panning gold to running her own upholstery business that specialized in helicopter interiors, seat slips, and blade covers.
