It is one of many financial support initiatives for students. Students in financial need can access up to $2 million in bursaries and scholarships through the college each year. 

Cairns was surprised mid-class by President Maureen Adamson with the news.

“This was such a great surprise. I am grateful to have won,” said Cairns.

The next contest is open to students who have already confirmed their attendance at Fleming College for the fall of next year.
