Sixteen Sudbury Catholic District School Board students have won Queen Elizabeth II Aiming for the Top Scholarships.
This scholarship program is run by the province, and rewards students who graduate with top marks at their secondary school, and who plan to continue their studies at an Ontario college or university.
Students who maintain an 80 percent average at the post-secondary level can receive these scholarships, which are worth up to a maximum of $3,500 per year, for up to four years in total.
"On behalf of the Sudbury Catholic District School Board, I extend my congratulations to each one of these students as their scholarships are evidence of their hard work and dedication to their education," Catherine McCullough, director of education, said.
"I know that I speak on behalf of their teachers and fellow students when I say that we are very proud of them and know that they will continue to be shining examples in our school communities and beyond."
