Tanya Leegstra was still processing the news Thursday after her name was announced as the grand prize winner at the University of Windsor’s Welcoming Celebration.
The first-year nursing student from Brantford was awarded $4,000 toward tuition during Welcome Week festivities at the Toldo Lancer Centre.
“I’m shocked. I really didn’t think I was going to get that at all,” said Leegstra, who was all smiles after receiving the news.
“It’s amazing and it’s definitely going to help a lot.”
