    This year there are 11 recipients, including five youth scholarship recipients and six adult scholarship winners.

    A couple of students from the Northern Peninsula and Bay St. George area have won scholarships through Newfoundland and Labrador Housing. Every year, these awards are given to both high school graduates and mature students who are pursuing a post-secondary education. To qualify, their legal guardians must be living in NLHC housing or be receiving a rent supplement from NLHC for a private market rental. This year there are 11 recipients, including five youth scholarship recipients and six adult scholarship winners. Alyssa Rumbolt of Port au Choix, a graduate of French Shore Academy in Port Saunders, is studying in a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Visual) program.  Adult Scholarship winner Emily Jesso of Stephenville,  is working toward a Bachelor of Social Work degree. Each scholarship is valued at $1,000.
