Leamington, Ontario – October 5, 2010 – Highline Mushrooms is pleased to announce the winners of its 2nd Annual Family Scholarship. This year, Highline increased the total monies allotted to $15,000 to be distributed in amounts of $3,000, $2,000, 1,500 and $500 CAD. Nine recipients from all four Highline facilities were awarded tuition funds.
True to its nature as a family business, Highline introduced the scholarship program in 2009 to all Associates to help their children and/or grandchildren realize their life goals through greater educational opportunity. The scholarship is designed to foster the values within the community that Highline has always upheld which include: Integrity; Community Involvement; Scientific Exploration; Leadership; Perseverance; Shared Success; Respect for the Environment; and The Pursuit of Excellence. Scores were gathered independently by a committee made up of individuals from both within Highline and from the community.
Along with academic achievements, work experience and extracurricular involvement, the main focus for this year’s program centred on community involvement and environmental responsibility.
Highline is pleased to announce this year’s scholarship recipients and wishes them success in their studies:
