The Halton District School Board is proud to announce 189 high school graduates have received Queen Elizabeth II Aiming for the Top Tuition Scholarships. The winners of these awards received top marks at their high schools and are among the highest achieving students from across the Board.
The Queen Elizabeth II Aiming for the Top Scholarship program rewards students who graduate with top marks at their high school, and who plan to continue their studies at an Ontario college or university. Students who maintain an 80 per cent average at the postsecondary level can receive these scholarships, which are worth up to a maximum of $3,500 per year, for up to four years in total.
Established by the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, these scholarships recognize and celebrate student achievements and provide financial support toward the cost of tuition for colleges and universities. Eligibility for these awards is based on the information provided by students on their OSAP application forms.
This year, the Ontario government is investing $35 million in Queen Elizabeth II Aiming for the Top Scholarships that are being issued to 14,205 students across the province.
