2020 Scholarship Award Winners

Christian Horizons partners with community colleges to build relationships and support students in the Developmental Services Worker (DSW) program. Christian Horizons has made a five-year commitment to sponsor two scholarships for DSW students. The recipients receive a scholarship of $1,000 as they enter 2nd year of the DSW program. The students are selected by the college and the scholarships are awarded to the students with the highest overall grade at the end of 1st year.

The Rev. James and Adrienne Reese Scholarship at Fleming College was given out for the first time in 2020. The recipient was Joanne Durocher, the top student in the 1st year DSW program at Fleming College.

The Michael Alemu Scholarship was given out for the second consecutive year in 2020. The recipient was Angela Seabrook, the top student in the 1st year DSW program at Fanshawe College.
