Regina, SK – Access Communications Co-operative today announced the 2021 recipients of the Access Communications Doug Alexander Scholarship Program. The program provides $1,000 awards for up to 20 graduating high school students in Saskatchewan.
“Making Saskatchewan a better place to live starts with investing in our young people,” said Fran Moran, Communications Manager at Access Communications. “These recipients are some of the best and brightest in our province. They inspire us with their commitment to their hometowns and helping those less fortunate. We’re honoured to support them along their academic journey and can’t wait to see the great things they will accomplish.”
The Access Scholarship Awards Committee selects recipients. The Committee considers students’ contribution to community improvement, academic achievement, and school involvement. Since 2005, the program has awarded over $380,000 to high school graduates.
In addition to the Access Communications Doug Alexander Scholarship Program, Access Communications awards annual scholarships to students at Saskatchewan Polytechnic in the Computer Networking Technician and the Telecommunications Network Technician certificate programs. Access also awards scholarships at the University of Regina through the Access Communications / Fred Wagman Scholarship in Film & Video.
