A special awards ceremony will be held at Thompson Rivers University on Thursday, Sept. 3 to recognize recipients of the university's TRU Grit entrance awards.

The awards are $1,000 or $2,000, depending on whether they are a part-time or full-time student, says Myrissa Krenzler, TRU marketing coordinator.

Award recipients, as well as delegates from Thompson Rivers University and TRU Grit, will be in attendance.

TRU Grit is an independent organization made up of community members committed to encouraging post-secondary education throughout Williams Lake and the Cariboo.

The money awarded to students has been raised through the TRU Grit Gala, an annual event held in the spring at Thompson Rivers University – Williams Lake Campus. TRU Grit is a volunteer organization and the money awarded has been raised from local community members and businesses.

The ceremony will be held at Thompson Rivers University – Williams Lake Campus at 1 p.m. on Sept. 3 in the outdoor courtyard, weather permitting.

If it is raining, the ceremony will be held in Room 1254 on campus.

A small reception, with time for photos and interviews, will take place after the ceremony.
