For the sixth-consecutive year, Brock University celebrated 59 local students and future leaders by awarding the Niagara Principal\u2019s Scholarships to two students from nearly every public, Catholic and private secondary school in the region.<\/p>\n
The annual scholarships are given to students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and commitment to school and community. Each post-secondary principal may nominate up to five candidates, of which two are selected annually. The value of each award is $2,500. Since its inception, more than $830,000 in Niagara Principal\u2019s Scholarship funding has been offered by Brock.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrock University is proud to continue the longstanding commitment to supporting and recognizing student excellence,\u201d says Brock President Gervan Fearon. \u201cSince the Niagara Principal\u2019s Scholarship was launched in 2015, we have celebrated the success of students across the Niagara region who have chosen to pursue their post-secondary education at Brock.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are excited to see the variety of ways these students will contribute to the local community and the University.\u00a0At Brock, we know we are a part of nurturing and fostering the future leaders of our region, country and world, and students receiving these scholarships are a big part of it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
While the annual cohort of recipients are traditionally celebrated during a ceremony in the spring, the Campus Initiatives team in the Registrar\u2019s Office got creative this year as physical distancing measures are in place due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year\u2019s recipients were recognized for their achievements by receiving a package in the mail that had their award and Brock swag in it,\u201d says Recruitment Officer, Campus Initiatives Carly Dugo. \u201cLater this summer, each recipient, along with their families and high school representatives, will be invited to a virtual awards recognition event to celebrate their achievements and meet other leaders from the Brock community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite necessary changes being made to the format in which recipients are recognized, Geraldine Jones, University Registrar and Associate Vice-President, Enrolment Services, says this doesn\u2019t mean the celebrations are any less exciting.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile it may have taken a different form this year, I am proud and excited that we were able to continue the tradition of celebrating the success of high achieving Niagara students who have chosen to study at Brock in the fall,\u201d says Jones.<\/p>\n
