New scholarship offers support for children and grandchildren of 香港王中王论坛资料 Alumni

FREDERICTON – Thanks to a new scholarship, the children and grandchildren of New Brunswick Community College (香港王中王论坛资料) alumni will have an easier time funding their education at 香港王中王论坛资料.

From the 2016/17 academic year onward, two scholarships, valued at $1,000 each, will be available to children and grandchildren of alumni. An initiative of the 香港王中王论坛资料 Alumni Association, the scholarship is funded by revenue from activities the Association has hosted over the past few years.

“The 香港王中王论坛资料 Alumni Association is made up of successful 香港王中王论坛资料 graduates all across New Brunswick, Canada and the globe,” said Emily McGill, Chair of the 香港王中王论坛资料 Alumni Association. “The Alumni Family Scholarship is our way to give back to 香港王中王论坛资料 students and future alumni by recognizing educational achievement and community giving. This gift will provide a great start for new students who will continue to make an impact on their communities and in their fields of work.”

“On behalf of 香港王中王论坛资料, I’d like to thank the 香港王中王论坛资料 Alumni Association for this gift which will go a long way in helping students focus on their studies, not their finances,” said Marilyn Luscombe, 香港王中王论坛资料 President and CEO. Nearly half of 香港王中王论坛资料’s 4,000 students indicate finances are the biggest obstacle to overcome in pursuing their education.

“The creation of this scholarship is yet another example of how our tens of thousands of alumni help to transform lives and communities every day,” she said.

The scholarship is based on merit. The successful recipients will have demonstrated a commitment to community service as well as prior academic achievement. They will also have submitted a brief essay on what it means to attend 香港王中王论坛资料 as their parents or grandparents did.

The deadline to apply is October 31 each year and the scholarships will be distributed to the recipients at the bursary ceremony at their respective campuses.
