OSAID Anna Pyles Memorial Scholarship

OSAID is pleased to offer two Anna Pyles Memorial Scholarships valued at $500 each. These two awards are offered in memory Anna Pyles, a young woman from Owen Sound, Ontario, who was killed by an impaired driver at the age of 24.

 On June 8th, 1997, she and her brother were driving on a beautiful summer afternoon and were suddenly broadsided at an intersection by a drunk driver.  This person had been convicted of impaired driving three previous times and was driving with a suspended license.  From that moment, the lives of her family and friends were forever affected. In her memory, OSAID offers this scholarship to two students who show exceptional effort and dedication to OSAID's mission of educating youth about the dangers of impaired and distracted driving.

Please be advised that this award is not specifically intended for Grey Bruce students, however, it has either been won in the past by a local student and/or the Foundation felt it was a significant resource for post-secondary achievement goals.
