2005-2006 Winners
Benjamin Gerrior
Years at MUN: One
Program: Engineering
What this award meant to him: I have just entered the
engineering program at Memorial University. With my degree, I plan to
work internationally, furthering the work of Engineers Without
Borders. My scholarship gave me the opportunity to attend the
University of my Choice and focus on my studies.
Kyle Reese
Years at MUN: One
Program: B.A. (Philosophy major/ History minor)
What this award meant to him: To me, my award meant the
recognition and acknowledgement of my community involvements and
academic achievements. Most importantly, it facilitated my desire to
experience academic life at Memorial University. Awards such as the
Millennium Excellence Award aid students with part of monumental
student debt faced by those wishing to complete post secondary
education. After I receive my arts degree at memorial, I would like
to study law, which I must do outside the province. This will require
a large financial investment, and it is comforting to know that the
government of Canada is helping to ease this burden through such
scholarship programs.

Millennium Excellence Awards as this scholarship not only provides
financial assistance, but also recognizes personal achievement.
