Petersen Health Sciences Bursary
History
Berkley Petersen and Tulsa Weimer created this Bursary in 2022 in memory of their late
grandfather Gordon Rolfe. Up until Gordon’s passing in 2018, he enthusiastically
encouraged his grandchildren to pursue post-secondary education. With financial
support through awards and scholarships from Prairie South School Division, Mossbank
School, and the community of Mossbank, Berkley and Tulsa went on to pursue degrees
in Psychology and Registered Nursing, respectively. Knowing the financial hardships
associated with post-secondary education, they hope this bursary will assist a Mossbank
School graduate to pursue a career in the health sciences field.
