秀色短视频

Officials from the 秀色短视频 announced a major undergraduate scholarship initiative to a group of Island high school students today that is designed to put the focus strongly on student achievement.

'秀色短视频 is excited to continue its tradition of recognizing student academic excellence through our new 鈥楥elebrating Student Achievement' program,' said 秀色短视频 President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz. 'This program will reward the academic excellence of students upon entrance to, as well as throughout their undergraduate studies at 秀色短视频. Both incoming and current students will be motivated to do well and continue to do well, as they will know automatically at what level they will be rewarded.'

秀色短视频 has a strong tradition in offering named, donor-funded scholarships and awards-there are over 700-but the 'Celebrating Student Achievement' scholarship program enhances the current program by offering 'Guaranteed Entrance Scholarships'for students entering 秀色短视频 directly from high school and 'Academic Excellence Awards' for any 秀色短视频 undergraduate students who meet the grade scale criteria during their second, third, and fourth years. There are four levels of awards, from $500-$3000 per year, based on a student's average from the previous year.

President Abd-El-Aziz, 秀色短视频 Student Union President Anastasia Smallwood and Vice President Travis Gordon, and 秀色短视频 Registrar Kathy Kielly unveiled the scholarship program to over 150 Westisle Composite High School students Wednesday afternoon. Other 秀色短视频 staff and faculty met with school principals across PEI earlier in the day to give them details about the initiative.

The program, which is renewable, will automatically recognize a greater number of undergraduate students because it includes students entering first year, as well as current students, and expands eligibility to those with a minimum average of 80 per cent.

After conducting environmental scans, meeting with the 秀色短视频 Student Union, hearing from high school administrators, and receiving endorsement from the 秀色短视频 Board of Governors, Senate, and Student Union, 秀色短视频 knew it was time to restructure the way it looked at awards.

Smallwood added, 'The Student Union had identified some gaps and we were really pleased that we were able to collaborate with 秀色短视频 to come up with a fair, competitive program that will reward so many more students as they enter 秀色短视频 and as they continue through to graduation. We are also pleased that current students who received a full tuition scholarship in the past are not affected.'

'What is really exciting is that these new awards are 鈥榮tackable' along with other named, donated scholarships,' said Gordon, 'and the Academic Excellence Awards are accessible to students entering their second, third, and fourth year of study, regardless of their residency.'

For Island students, the 'Celebrating Student Achievement' awards can be combined with the first-year George Coles Bursary ($2200), second- and third-year Island Student Award ($400, $600), and Graduate Award ($2000) available to PEI residents.

Incoming students are still encouraged to apply before March 1st so that they will receive full consideration for all scholarships in addition to the automatic 'Guaranteed Entrance Scholarships.'
