PG Grad Awarded New Scholarship

By 250 News

Prince George teen, Sanja Knezevic, is one of 60 B.C. students awarded the first 'Pacific Leaders' scholarships for children of BC Public Service employees.

In announcing the scholarships earlier this week, Deputy Premier Shirley Bond said, "Sanja has demonstrated strong academic achievement while at Duchess Park and is a very worthy recipient.

Sanja will receive the $2,500.00 scholarship when she enrols as a full-time student in an under-graduate degree program or a trade, technical or vocational program.

Successful recipients were chosen based on academic achievement (with a minimum B average), communication skills and an essay written on the value of the public service.
