Background:
UPEI's Celebrating Student Achievement awards program puts the focus strongly on student achievement and leads to more scholarships being available to more students. The program, including Guaranteed Entrance Scholarships and Academic Excellence Awards for current students, rewards students' academic excellence automatically upon entrance to, as well as throughout their studies at UPEI. Both incoming and current students will be motivated to do well and continue to do well, as they will know automatically at what level they will be rewarded. Awards are also "stackable" with other named scholarship and awards.
