FRIDA PAULINA NORGREN & ESTHER MARIA PLANTARE ENTRANCE MEMORIAL BURSARIES

Frida Paulina Norgren and Esther Maria Plantare, the grandmothers of Kosmetae’s founder and President, Kristina Norgren, were instrumental in introducing education to the largely rural town of Överboda, Sweden. As the first and third school teachers of their small northern town, both women were highly community minded and concerned with both the educational needs and the social well-being of those around them. It is in the spirit of illuminating young minds that Kosmetae Academy is pleased to offer the Frida Paulina Norgren and Esther Maria Plantare Entrance Memorial Bursaries.

The bursary is a non-repayable award that is designed to help fill unmet need which is the difference between one’s assessed financial need and available government assistance.
