REGINA — Access Communications Co-operative today announced the 2021 recipients of its Doug Alexander Scholarship Program, which awards $1,000 each to up to 20 graduating high school students in Saskatchewan.
When selecting the recipients, the Access Scholarship Awards Committee considers students’ contribution to community improvement, academic achievement and school involvement.
Since 2005, the scholarship program has awarded more than $380,000 to high school graduates. The program was renamed in 2020 in honour of the late Doug Alexander, former community relations manager at Access Communications.
“Making Saskatchewan a better place to live starts with investing in our young people,” said Fran Moran, communications manager at Access Communications, in a press release.
“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.”
In addition to the Access Communications Doug Alexander Scholarship Program, the co-operative 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 and Video.
