PROVINCE GIVES $200,000 TO THE TOP 500 HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES

Released on November 6, 2012

The Ministry of Education, through the Saskatchewan General Proficiency Awards program, has awarded $400 to each of the top 500 students who graduated from high schools across Saskatchewan last year.

"The General Proficiency Awards reward excellence and encourage students to pursue post-secondary education," Education Minister Russ Marchuk said. "Congratulations to the award recipients whose academic achievement is being recognized by their school and the provincial government with this award."

Each school uses criteria established by the Ministry of Education to nominate their best students based on Grade 12 marks. The General Proficiency Awards, totalling $200,000 annually, are granted by the provincial government as a contribution to the students' post-secondary education.

Letters of congratulations from the Minister of Education have been sent to students who will receive their awards from the ministry later this month.
