LETHBRIDGE, ALTA. Lethbridge College donors have made a huge difference in the lives of students over the past year. In 2020-21, the college gave out more than $650,000 in student awards to more than 460 students. This has helped relieve students of the financial burden that can come along with getting a post-secondary education.
