The cost of post secondary education continues to rise but Prince George resident Jocelyn Siddall is getting a helping hand from the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. Jocelyn Siddall was awarded a $1000 scholarship and is headed to University of Northern British Columbia in September. The MS Society’s Scholarship Program, supported by Billy Talent and Friends, is new for 2007 and is designed to help students who have MS or have a parent with MS. Siddall is one of 61 students receiving a portion of the $60,000 disbursed this year.
Chapter Chair, Shirley Byman for the MS Society of Canada says: We are thrilled that Jocelyn has been selected. She has made our community proud and we wish her well in her upcoming studies.
