Student Awards Night a success


by Sherri Hogan

One hundred and nineteen students received scholarships, bursaries and awards, totalling over $73,305.00 at the recent Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµ Student Awards Night. Sponsored by Pepsi Bottling Group, the ceremony was held on January 27 at The Tourism and Culinary Centre in Charlottetown.

Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµ scholarships, bursaries and awards are available to students in good standing who are registered in college programs. The awards are based on specific criteria determined by the donor. Students are permitted to apply for one or more of the available awards by mid-October of the school year. In total, approximately $149,000 is awarded annually to Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµ students.

"The selection committees chose 119 students for recognition out of 2,635 applications," said Sylvia Poirier, registrar of Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµ and emcee for the evening.

"The evening could not have been possible without the generosity of individuals, businesses and organizations who have contributed to the Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµ Foundation," said Kim Horrelt, Chairperson of the Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµ Foundation Board of Directors. "The college greatly appreciates their support of our students."
