North West College has highlighted some of this year’s brightest and best students with the naming of North West College’s Completion Scholarship recipients.

Approximately $46,000 was awarded to 30 students enrolled in post-secondary programs at North West College. Recipients demonstrated outstanding academic achievement, leadership and commitment to pursuing advancement in post-secondary education.

These scholarships are made possible by gifts from individual and corporate donors, as well as a grant from the Saskatchewan Innovation & Opportunity Scholarships (SIOS) program, administered through the Ministry of Advanced Education. Through this program, the Saskatchewan Government matches every dollar the College receives for scholarships from local industry partners and private donors, thus doubling the resources to support even more students in our region. During the 2019-2020 academic year, North West College awarded over $115,000 in scholarships to its students.

“I am continually amazed by the accomplishments of our students. This year in particular our students showed unwavering perseverance and determination to navigate through these challenging times and came out on top,” said Jay Notay, president and CEO of North West College. “I am proud we are able to recognize their success. Their persistence, determination and resilience will take them far as they embark on their next stages of life.”
