scholarship
Second scholarship soon up for grabs
TNG Canada/CWA
Charlie Greenwell, a veteran reporter at CJOH Television
in Ottawa, was the bearer of exciting news when he contacted
his 21-year-old daughter today.
Clare Greenwell, a third-year psychology student at Trent
University, is the winner of the $1,000 scholarship from
TNG Canada/CWA.
"This will help, big time," says
Charlie, whose 19-year-old son, Andrew, is preparing to
attend college. The elder Greenwell is a member of the Ottawa
Newspaper Guild (TNG Canada Local 30205).
Since beginning her studies at Trent in Peterborough, Ont.,
Clare has helped pay for her education by working part-time.
She has held jobs at a variety of places, including CHUM
Radio, The Wine Rack, Canadian Tire and a fast-food restaurant.
TNG Canada received about 170 applications
for the cash bursary.
A second $1,000 scholarship will be up
for grabs in the near future. TNG Canada expects to announce
details and the deadline for applications on this web site
within a few weeks.
Members of the Guild or a dependent child or partner of
a member in good standing are eligible. At the time of the
award, the applicant must be able to confirm full-time attendance
at, or acceptance to, an accredited college, university,
technical or trade school.
A random draw determines the winner.
