Weyburn – The Â鶹´«Ã½AVeast College is set to distribute $16,000 in entrance scholarships to students enrolled in full-time programs for the 2021-22 academic year.
Ten students received letters last week confirming they will receive the Â鶹´«Ã½AVeast College Award of Academic Excellence, while six students will be receiving the Pathways Scholarship.
The Award of Excellence was established with the purpose of empowering students and rewarding those who strive towards a path of academic excellence. The Pathways Scholarship was established with the purpose of creating a pathway for success for recent Â鶹´«Ã½AVeast College adult basic education graduates wishing to pursue a full- time post-secondary education at Â鶹´«Ã½AVeast College.
“Both the Academic Excellence, and Pathways Scholarships are based on a combination of academic performance and early registration.” said Kassandra Lawrenz, manager for college advancement. “We can’t wait to welcome all our students to campus, and we’re very excited to see where their individual academic journeys take them.”
Scholarships will be paid out to students at the midpoint of their first semester.
Â鶹´«Ã½AVeast College entrance scholarships are made possible through various fundraising events such as the College’s Swing for Scholarships golf tournaments. Eligible funds are matched by the Ministry of Advanced Education through the Saskatchewan Innovation and Opportunity Scholarship (SIOS) program.
Â鶹´«Ã½AVeast College is proud to be the trainer of choice in southeast Saskatchewan offering educational opportunities that encourage students to learn where they live. A number of post-secondary programs are still accepting applications for programs starting this fall. Interested students can find program information and apply for the program of their choice online at www.southeastcollege.org or call any of the college’s campus locations for more information.
