The recipient of the Troy Anand Scholarship this year is Kyle Tomchuk.
The scholarship is awarded every year in honour of a local entrepreneur, Troy Anand, who was a dedicated and active member of the Thompson community.
Tomchuk is a recent RD Parker Collegiate graduate, and talks about how it feels to receive the scholarship.
"It's an honour to win this scholarship. It's a great one to get because I read a little bit about the guy. He's a very great person, and it just meant a lot to me."
He will be attending Brandon University in the fall, and would like to thank everyone who has helped him throughout his high school career.
