The Automotive Industries Association of Canada has announced the winners of the Marion Roberts Scholarship Awards.
More than 60 young adults will be furthering their education with a little help from scholarship fund, which is designed to assist students pursuing a post secondary education in any field of endeavour. They are awarded based on academic achievement, leadership skills and community involvement.
"The parents of these young people should be very proud," says association president Ray Datt. "It is always very inspiring for the selection committee to read the scholarship applications, these young people represent the best in today’s youth. Our congratulations and best wishes to them all."
The Marion Roberts Scholarship Awards were developed to provide assistance to children of employees of AIA member companies. Employees of AIA members companies are encouraged to ensure that their dependents pursuing a post-secondary education at either the college or university level, apply for a Marion Roberts Scholarship. Applications for 2003 will be mailed to AIA members in the spring, or students can download a copy from the AIA web site www.aiacanada.com. The deadline for applications will be July 15, 2003.
The name of each scholarship winner is listed below along with the name of the family member and company that qualified them to win an award. Each scholarship recipient will be awarded $500 to help them with their studies.
