Each student will receive $1,000 annually for up to four years to complete their post-secondary education.

The Synergy Shares Scholarship is open to graduating high-school students, post-secondary students and mature students. Applicants were asked to submit written answers to three questions and the winners were selected by a panel of Synergy Emerging Leaders and senior-level management, utilizing a matrix scoring system.

Congratulations to Sheldon, McKenna and Adrina!
