About This Opportunity
This scholarship honours the memory of Anna and John Kolesar, the parents of Dr. Henry Kolesar, Deputy Minister of Alberta Advanced Education from 1976 to 1987. Longtime residents of the Millet area, the Kolesars were lifelong advocates of the importance of higher education, providing encouragement and support to all who chose academic pursuits. Originally from Hungary, Anna and John Kolesar arrived in Alberta in 1927, contributing much to their community and province in the many years they lived in Millet. Upon his retirement in 1987, Dr. Kolesar initiated the scholarship with a generous endowment supported by contributions from friends and colleagues. This scholarship has been funded through the Alberta Heritage Scholarship Fund and provides financial support to first-generation university students graduating from Alberta high schools who are pursuing studies in a Faculty of Education at an Alberta publicly funded post-secondary institution.
