Government Establishes New Scholarship in Honour of Diamond Jubilee Visit
Premier Brad Wall today welcomed the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall to Saskatchewan during a ceremony at the province's Legislative Building.
Attending the event as special guests were the 10 recipients of the 2012-13 Prince of Wales Scholarship, who travelled from across the province and were recognized for their academic success.
In honour of the Diamond Jubilee visit of Their Royal Highnesses, Premier Wall announced the scholarship will be renamed the "Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall Fund", and will be awarded to an additional 10 students each year.
"Queen Elizabeth and Their Royal Highnesses, through their actions and words, remind us of the importance of community and the necessity of providing opportunity to all," Wall said. "In that spirit of generosity, I am pleased to announce the expansion of this scholarship as we renew our relationship with the Crown."
The Government of Saskatchewan created the scholarship in 2001, when the Prince of Wales last visited the province. Intended to ease the financial burden some students face, the scholarship provides recipients with two instalments of $250 while they attend Grade 12. Since its inception, the scholarship has disbursed $50,000 to 100 students across Saskatchewan.
Premier Wall, on behalf of the people of Saskatchewan, also presented a second gift - the creation of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Scholarship, which will be established to assist Grade 12 students attending community schools, to transition into post-secondary studies at a University or technical institute. This new scholarship will be worth $1,000 and will be awarded to six Grade 12 students.
"This scholarship will help ensure everyone can benefit from the Saskatchewan Advantage, which is sustained by the skills, ambition and vision of our young people," Wall said.
