Kemptville’s Alicia Sutton has been named the winner of the 2015 Eleanor Kingstone Scholarship. The $1,000 scholarship is open to students graduating from high school and pursuing post-secondary education who have been actively involved with the federal or provincial Conservative riding associations in Leeds-Grenville.
Sutton, the daughter of Tim Sutton and Dawn Latourell, has been a longtime volunteer with both associations. She recently participated in the Ontario Legislative Assembly’s Model Parliament at Queen’s Park, sitting as the MPP for Leeds-Grenville.
She is about to graduate from North Grenville District High School and plans to study political science at university in the fall.
The recipient of the scholarship is chosen by the MP, MPP and presidents of the federal and provincial riding associations in Leeds-Grenville.
