Guru Granth Sahib Scholarship Established in British Columbia
WSN Bureau

Surrey, BC (KP) - A scholarship, named Guru Granth Sahib Scholarship, has been established at the Kwantlen University College. The scholarship has been established by a Kwantlen University business student Inderpal Singh Gill with help from local Sikhs who donated $10,000.

The establishment of this scholarship has come at the right time as the Sikh Community is commemorating the 300th anniversary of Guru Granth Sahib Ji’s Gurtagaddi (Guruship).

The Kwantlen University College Foundation appreciated the handiwork of Inderpal Singh Gill and announced that they will match the sum of $10,000 invested by the Sikh Community. The total amount of $20,000 will be awarded to twenty individuals in sums of $1000 each who commit their time in selfless service for charitable organizations.

The commendable work by Inderpal Singh Gill should work to set precedents for Sikh organizations based worldwide. Establishing similar scholarships will undoubtedly bring a positive image for the Sikhs in the media along with increasing awareness of the Sikh religion.

Inderpal Singh Gill is an admirable member of the British Columbia Sikh Community. He has toured several Gurdwaras in North America organizing Gurmat camps. He takes an active part at the Guru Nanak Academy in Surrey, which was founded by Bhai Parminder Singh for increasing Gurmat Parchar for the Sikh Youth.
