The Honourable Tom Osborne, Minister of Education announced today more than $202,000 in scholarships for 201 recent high school graduates as part of the Provincial Scholarship Program. The program recognizes high school graduates throughout Newfoundland and Labrador for their hard work, dedication and academic achievements.
Scholarships being awarded include one Junior Jubilee Scholarship; valued at $2,500; one Constable W.C. Moss Scholarship; 120 Electoral District Scholarships; and, 79 Centenary of Responsible Government Scholarships, all valued at $1,000.
These scholarships are historically awarded based on the results of public exams in English, Math, Science and Social Studies. Due to Covid-19, the June 2020 public exams were cancelled. For this reason, the scholarship process was applied to the school shared mark in the relevant subject areas for all members of the class of 2020. Previous public exam results were not considered in this calculation.
The Junior Jubilee Scholarship is awarded to the student with the highest overall marks in the province. This year’s recipient is Karen Sharpe, a graduate of Marystown Central High School.
The Constable W.C. Moss Scholarship is awarded to the son or daughter of a member of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary or the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (active, retired or deceased) with the highest marks – other than the Junior Jubilee Scholarship recipient. This year’s recipient is Kenna Hynes, a graduate of Holy Spirit High School.
The Electoral District Scholarships are awarded to the three high school graduates in each electoral district with the highest marks – other than the Junior Jubilee and the Constable W.C. Moss Scholarships recipients.
The Centenary of Responsible Government Scholarships are awarded to students with the highest marks – other than the Junior Jubilee, Constable W.C. Moss and the Electoral District Scholarships recipients. A complete list of Provincial Scholarship winners is available in the backgrounder below.
