Sault Tribe Higher Education announces 2011-2012 scholarship winners
Sault Tribe Higher Education Department is pleased to announce its 2011-2012 Higher Education scholarship recipients. Scholarship Committee members David Houghton, Barb Smutek, Angeline Boulley and Dan Adams volunteered their time to review and rank the essays submitted by applicants.
“There were almost 100 essays submitted this year. The essays were really well-written, which made it harder for committee members to choose the winners. To ensure all students were given an equal opportunity I blacked out personal identifying information from the essays prior to being reviewed by the committee members,” said Brandi MacArthur, Higher Education administrative assistant.
The Special Needs Scholarships were awarded to four lucky recipients in the amount of $1,000 each.
Higher Education staff would like to thank all of the students who applied for the Scholarship Program. “We would also like to give a special thank you to the Scholarship Committee who dedicated their time to review our essays. We would also like to thank the Sault Tribe Golf Scholarship Fundraiser committee, our generous vendors and other contributors who have made donations towards our program which would not be available for our students without their support,” said MacArthur.
