Joan Burke, Minister of Human Resources, Labour

and Labrador Housing Corporation (NLHC) will continue its commitment to
education through its annual scholarship program.
Minister Burke commented, �NLHC will award a total of nine scholarships, valued
at $9,000, to high school graduates and adults pursuing post-secondary
education. The scholarships are awarded in the Avalon/Eastern, Central and
Western/Labrador regions to clients� children, employees� children and adult
clients returning to school. Each scholarship is valued at $1,000. It is
important to encourage and support those dedicated to attaining a post-secondary
education.�
NLHC�s children�s scholarships are awarded based on the results of the
Department of Education�s scholarship score, which is derived from a student�s
performance on public exams.
Winners of the NLHC adult scholarships are selected based on an interview that
assesses initiative, need, and community experience.
The deadline for NLHC�s Children�s Scholarship Program was August 31, 2005,
however, applications for the Adult Scholarship Program will be accepted until
the end of September. Adult scholarship applications must be postmarked no later
