"Through Aiming for the Top Scholarships we are rewarding their hard work and dedication as they move on to contin- ued success at a college or university." "As the MPP for Whitby - Ajax, | am very proud of these students who have worked so hard. | am also proud that they are being rewarded through this government program that will provide some assis- tance with their post sec- ondary education," said Jim Flaherty. "These stu- dents are the leaders of tomorrow and we wish them all the very best of success."
