| For the ninth consecutive year, Whitehorse City Council is offering a scholarship valued at $4,500 to local students entering their first year of tertiary studies at Box Hill Institute. The focus of the scholarships is a combination of academic achievements and community participation. Student must live in the City of Whitehorse and be involved in community groups or activities. Whitehorse City Council has a long-standing relationship with Box Hill Institute and is very proud to give local students an opportunity to receive a City of Whitehorse Scholarship. Council believes that providing scholarships to local residents helps continue the trend of having a higher than average number of people with tertiary qualifications living in the municipality. It believes the more educated our community becomes, the more social capital and employment opportunities there will be available locally in future years. First year students who live locally are encouraged to obtain a copy of the criteria to determine whether they are eligible to apply for a City of Whitehorse Scholarship. Noelene Duff
