Province�s Latest Scholars Announced

The Provincial Government has awarded the Junior Jubilee, Constable W.C. Moss, Electoral District and Centenary of Responsible Government Scholarships to over 200 students across Newfoundland and Labrador. The scholarships recognize the academic achievement of high school students who go on to pursue university or college and in total are valued at over $200,000.

�These scholarships are a wonderful way for the Provincial Government to acknowledge the hard work of so many students from communities throughout Newfoundland and Labrador,� said the Honourable Darin King, Minister of Education. �We are making tremendous investments to ensure post-secondary education is both affordable and accessible. These scholarships will also help with the costs of university and college and support students who will become our province�s future leaders.�

The Junior Jubilee Scholarship, valued at $2,500, is awarded to the student who attains the highest score in high school in the province. This year�s recipient is Amy Powell who attended Roncalli Central High School in St. Barbe district

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 Michael Dwyer, who attended Mount Pearl Senior High in the district of Topsail.

The Electoral District Scholarships, valued at $1,000 each, are awarded to the three high school graduates in each district who achieved the highest scores. As well, 55 Centenary of Responsible Government Scholarships, valued at $1,000 each, have been awarded to graduating students, other than the winners of the Electoral, Junior Jubilee and W.C. Moss Scholarships, who earned the highest scores in the province.

A full listing of all scholarship winners is provided below.

�I offer my sincere congratulations to this year�s scholarship recipients,� said Minister King. �I commend them for not only choosing to pursue post-secondary education, but for performing well enough to merit scholarships. I wish each of them good luck as they embark on their post-secondary adventures, and best wishes for continued excellence in academic achievement.�
