Two grade 10 students from Saint John have been awarded CIBC Youthvision Scholarships, worth up to $38,500 each.
Samantha Paulin from St. Malachy’s High School and Deanna Wilson from Saint John High have the award that targets high-potential youth who might not have the opportunity to go to university or college.
Big Brothers Big Sisters help find the students through their mentorship program. Along with funds, the two students will also get a summer internship for up to six years through the YMCA and contributions to tuition for 4 years.
Every year the CIBC Youthvision Scholarship program gives more than $1 million to help give post-secondary education for youth in need.
