In the spirit of promoting and fostering excellence in all aspects of life, Prairie Land Public School Division is proud to announce the recipients of the 2025 University of New Brunswick
REDS Scholarship. This prestigious opportunity, made possible through a unique partnership
with the University of New Brunswick, is designed to nurture the development of Prairie Land’s most promising student-athletes as they transition beyond high school athletics.
After careful consideration by the selection committee, three exceptional student-athletes have been chosen from an outstanding field of candidates throughout Prairie Land. The recipients of the 2025 University of New Brunswick REDS Scholarship are:

• Katie Hadwin – Volleyball, Consort School
• Darian Price – Football, J.C. Charyk Hanna School
• Nathan Van Lagen – Baseball, Altario School

The selection committee faced the challenging task of choosing from an incredibly talented and deserving group of student-athletes. These three recipients were selected based on their exceptional athletic ability, academic achievements, and exemplary qualities as positive team members. Each embodies the values of dedication, perseverance, and teamwork that Prairie Land seeks to foster in its students.

The University of New Brunswick has a long-standing reputation for excellence in academics and athletics, making it an ideal partner for this initiative. The scholarship provides these students with an all-expenses-paid trip to UNB’s Fredericton campus, where they will experience life as U SPORTS Student-Athletes. During their visit, recipients will:

• Observe competitions, practices, and team meetings;
• Meet U SPORTS athletic trainers for guidance on training and preparation for sports
  beyond high school;
• Tour the UNB campus and meet with academic advisors to explore university
  programming.

Prairie Land Public School Division congratulates Katie, Darian, and Nathan on this remarkable achievement and thanks all the coaches, athletic directors, and schools for their support in fostering excellence among student-athletes. We look forward to following the journeys of these outstanding individuals as they continue to excel on and off the field.
