About this award

You get $2,500 as a scholarship. This is a grant, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a high-achieving high school student in Newfoundland and Labrador aiming for the top academic score in the province. No application form or deadline is listed on the official page — this scholarship is awarded based on the Department of Education scholarship score. For questions about the Scholarship Acceptance Process, email karenpearcey@gov.nl.ca. Winners are chosen based on who achieves the highest Department of Education (the provincial body managing school standards) scholarship score. While the government awards 201 scholarships each year across various categories, this specific award goes to the single top scorer. Ask Government of Newfoundland and Labrador how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Government of Newfoundland and Labrador whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• Academic ScoreAvoid focusing only on your internal class rank. Instead, focus on your Department of Education scholarship score, since that is what decides this award.
• SupportAvoid trying to navigate the acceptance process alone. Instead, email karenpearcey@gov.nl.ca, the contact the official page gives for the Scholarship Acceptance Process.
• StrategyAvoid ignoring the broader pool of awards. Instead, remember that while this is for the top scorer, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador awards 201 scholarships each year, so you may qualify for others even if you aren't the highest overall.
• RealismAvoid assuming you will win this award based on previous grades. Instead, recognize that this is a highly competitive prize reserved for the single student with the highest score in the province. Plan your finances with other options in mind.
