Great Plains College announced on Monday that it was extending its Entrance Scholarship application deadline until June 30, 2020.

In the press release, they report that the extension is the direct result of the financial support of their many donors allowing them to provide a number of scholarships while acknowledging that the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected many students' financial situations.

Carrie Voysey is the director of communications and development at Great Plains College.

"The generosity of our donors, paired with the continued support from the Government of Saskatchewan, has allowed our scholarship program to be a great opportunity for students, and we’re happy to extend the opportunity for scholarships to more students, especially given the pandemic and the economic challenges we are now faced with.”
