Westman Communications honours top students

Westman Communications Group (Westman) Award of Excellence Scholarships were recently awarded to 30 western Manitoba high school students.

The $500 scholarships were awarded to graduating high school students who have been accepted by a Manitoba post-secondary institution and declared their intent to pursue a career in a technology-related program.

Further qualifications for the Westman Award of Excellence Scholarship include academic achievement and community involvement – qualities that Westman Communications Group is proud to support and recognize in Manitoba youth.

The scholarships awarded comprise part of the $15,000 available for students in 2010. Since its inception, Westman has contributed over $150,000 to students in Western Manitoba.

“Technology is advancing rapidly. As a company that uses today’s cutting-edge technology to deliver its services, Westman Communications Group wants to help western Manitoba students enter this vast and exciting field,” said Neil Thomson, director of marketing and sales for Westman Communications Group. Thomson added,
“No other telecommunications company has made this type of investment in students in western Manitoba.”

Annually, Westman Communications Group offers a post-secondary scholarship to an exceptional student in the Assiniboine Community College Media Production program; in addition, scholarships are given to students of Music and Computer Science at Brandon University. Westman also works to provide educational programming to schools at no charge.
