Over 130 students received Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards, totaling over $75,000.00 at the Holland College Foundation Student Awards Night. Sponsored by Seaman's Beverages Ltd., the ceremony was held on January 29th at The Atlantic Tourism and Hospitality Institute in Charlottetown.

Holland College Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards are available to students in good standing who are registered in College programs. The awards are based specific criteria determined by the donor and on financial need. Students are permitted to apply for one or more of the available awards by mid-October of the school year. "Out of the 3,000 applications received by Admissions this year, selection committees chose 132 of those students to be recognized" said Sylvia Poirier, Registrar of Holland College 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 College Foundation" said Albert Fogarty, Chairman of the Holland College Foundation Board of Governors. "The College greatly appreciates their support of our students."
