Awarded Provincial Government Scholarships
The Provincial Government has awarded $202,500 in
scholarships to 201 high school graduates. The scholarships range in
value from $1,000 to $2,500 and are used to help students pursue
post-secondary education. Recipients are chosen based on public
examination results.
"I offer my congratulations to each of these talented
individuals," said the Honourable Joan Burke, Minister of Education.
"They will no doubt continue to excel as they pursue life after high
school and I am pleased we are able to provide this additional support
to help fund their post-secondary education."
The Junior Jubilee Scholarship, valued at $2,500, is
awarded to the student who attains the highest overall scholarship
score. This year’s recipient is Maggie Fitzgerald, a graduate of Gonzaga
High School in St. John’s.
The Constable W.C. Moss Scholarship is awarded to the
son or daughter of a member of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary or
the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (active, retired, or deceased) who,
other than the Junior Jubilee winner, achieved the highest scholarship
score. This year’s recipient of the $1,000 scholarship is Jillian Walsh,
a graduate of Holy Spirit High School in Manuels.
The Provincial Government also awards $1,000 Electoral
District Scholarships to the three high school graduates in each
district who achieved the highest scholarship score. Another 55 students
have received the Centenary of Responsible Government Scholarship which
is also based on the scholarship score and valued at $1,000.
These scholarships complement the many initiatives
introduced in recent years by the Williams Government to make
post-secondary education more affordable and accessible. Over $30
million has been invested to support a four-year freeze on tuition
rates, $12.4 million has been invested this year to fund up-front,
non-repayable grants, and $3.7 million is being invested annually to
reduce the interest rate on student loans from prime plus 2.5 per cent
to prime.
"Reducing student debt is one of the primary goals of
our government," said Minister Burke. "We are committed to affordable
and accessible education. We want our graduates to have a future here in
Newfoundland and Labrador – a future that allows them to fully put their
skills to use without the burden of a heavy debt load. Low tuition,
up-front grants and scholarships such as these all contribute to reduced
debt, and ultimately to a successful future for these bright young women
and men."
