More than $200,000 in Provincial Scholarships have been awarded to 201 recent high school graduates throughout Newfoundland and Labrador. The scholarships, ranging in value from $1,000 to $2,500, are awarded based on public examination results and will help students pursue post-secondary education.
“The Provincial Scholarships recognize the hard work and dedication of hundreds of high school graduates from throughout the province. Their outstanding academic achievements, along with the financial assistance offered through these scholarships, will help them pursue their chosen career paths. I congratulate each of this year’s recipients and wish them success in their post-secondary endeavors.”
