Union News - September 2024
The Honours and Awards Committee met July 22-26 to review the scholarship applications that had been submitted for the 2024 calendar year.
The Committee has chosen the two National Scholarship recipients, one for the Robert “Bob” Campbell National scholarship, and one for the Diana Gee National scholarship, each in the amount of $3,000.
There were also 10 regional scholarships awarded in the amount of $1,500 each, and lastly there were ten scholarships sponsored by The Personal Insurance Group, each of the amount of $1,000.
The recommendations of the committee must be presented to the Executive Council meeting taking place in late September, and once approved, all the successful candidates will be notified and the names of all the winners will appear in the December issue of Union News.
As a footnote, the committee wanted to advise that out of the 57 scholarship applications received, there were 16 disqualified for a variety of reasons. In the newsletter prior to the next scholarship deadline, we will highlight some of the issues and the committee will review the instructions included with the application form to ensure a lower disqualification rate.
