Yorkton, SK – Parkland College awarded $68,150 in internal scholarships to 70 students from across East Central Saskatchewan at its awards ceremony at the Painted Hand Casino in Yorkton on March 27.
These scholarships are in addition to the $40,500 in entrance scholarships awarded in September. This marks the second consecutive academic year in which Parkland College has awarded more than $100,000 in scholarships.
The scholarships are made possible through the generosity of local businesses and organizations, community members, college staff, the annual Dollars for Scholars Golf Classic, and the Ministry of Advanced Education’s Saskatchewan Innovation and Opportunity Scholarship program. The program, introduced by the provincial government in 2011, is intended to provide matching funds to institutions for scholarships that are targeted in accordance with the institution’s strategic directions. Funds are provided on a dollar-for-dollar matching basis with local non-government donors.
Contributors to this year’s internal scholarships include Advanced Education, Dollars for Scholars Golf Classic donors, A+K Architects, Churchbridge Credit Union, City of Melville, City of Yorkton, Friends of Clay Serby, Cornerstone Credit Union, Drs. Ron and Bree Rogoza, Gateway Co-op, Good Spirit REDA, Horizon Credit Union, LDM Foods, Logan Stevens Construction, Melville Lions Club, Morris Industries, Mosaic Potash Esterhazy, ParkerQuine LLP, Dr. Fay Myers, R.G. Combe V.C. Royal Canadian Legion #61 (Melville), Richardson, Saskatchewan Abilities Council, Town of Canora, Yorkton Chamber of Commerce, Yorkton Lions Club, Yorkton Rotary Club, and Yorkton This Week.
