NWP raises $60K+ for Welcome First Awards

Northwestern Polytechnic’s annual Northwestern Classic has raised more than $60,000 towards the the Northwestern Polytechnic Welcome First Awards.

“Through these fundraising events, our community is able to broaden the opportunities available to our students,” says NWP President and CEO, Justin Kohlman. “The money raised goes directly to our students so we can reduce barriers to increase the number of students who are able to succeed.”

The Welcome First Award provides $2,000 to select first-year domestic students who are registered in one of four eligible programs, which includes the Bachelor Business Administration Degree, Bachelor of Computing Science Degree, and Practical Nurse Diploma at the Fairview campus.

The post secondary facility also announced it’s next fundraiser, another golf tournament, the Fairview Classic with title sponsor, Swartzy Welding, which will take place at the Fairview Golf Club on Friday, August 25th.

“The Fairview Classic is an opportunity for the community to rally around the students at NWP’s Fairview Campus,” says NWP Manager of Theatre and Event Services Andrea Pyper.
