City Council Announces 2026 Henry Baker Scholarship Recipients
The City of Regina is pleased to recognize the 2026 recipients of the Henry Baker Scholarship.
“Today we celebrate an exceptional group of leaders whose achievements extend far beyond the classroom,” said Mayor Chad Bachynski. “These recipients have demonstrated an incredible commitment to academic success, community involvement and service to others. Their dedication, character and ambition are inspiring, and we are honoured to support them as they continue to pursue their dreams. Congratulations to the 17 recipients of the Henry Baker Scholarship.”
Each recipient will receive a $2,000 scholarship to support their post-secondary education in Regina. The $1,000 Mryglod Scholarship will not be awarded this year, as no qualifying application was received.
