NOTE TO EDITORS:

Thirteen Newfoundland students won't drop out of school this year

The partners of the Back to School program, along with Terra Nova Petroleum, would like to invite you to the presentation of the 1998 bursary winners from Newfoundland, to be held in St. John's today (July 30) at 11 a.m. at the Delta Hotel.

Back to School is the Petro-Canada bursary program helping guest service attendants to return to school or continue their education. Thanks to the partnership with the Newfoundland and Labrador government, Back to School will be awarding $10,000 in bursaries in the province. Both Petro-Canada and the Back to School program are looking forward to a long and successful partnership with the Department of Education.
