The Cornélius-Brotherton foundation rewards young gaspesians and madelinots who decided to pursue their studies in their region
Published on
For a 15th consecutive year, the foundation of the Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles is proud to distribute $6,000 in scholarships to 11 students newly admitted to one of the programs offered at the institution’s 4 campuses. These entrance scholarships are divided into 3 sections.
The “Welcome” section is exclusively for graduates from high schools and adult education centers located in the Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine administrative region and the graduates from high schools within the Eastern Shores School Board. A $500 scholarship is awarded by random draw to a student from each of these schools or centers; this year, not all are represented due to a lack of applications. The winners are:
Scholarship holder | School of origin | Campus of study |
Mégan Miville | Gabriel-Le Courtois Ste Anne des Monts | Carleton-sur-mer |
Tammy-Ève Minville | Esdras-Minville Grande Vallée | Gaspé (French sector) |
Megan Cloutier | Antoine-Roy Rivière au Renard | Gaspé (French sector) |
Victor Hardy-Fortin | C.E. Pouliot Gaspé | Gaspé (French sector) |
Léann Vachon | Du Littoral Grande Rivière | Gaspé (French sector) |

The “immersion” section is intended for students who begin their college education in total or partial immersion at the Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles. It encourages the acquisition of a second language. This year, there were no eligible candidates for the French or English Immersion Scholarship. The eligible students were already bilingual.
The “Leadership” section is intended to reward the exceptional extracurricular or community involvement of a student. Following the analysis of the selection committee, the $500 scholarship is awarded to:
Scholarship holder | School of origin | Campus of study |
Angelie Duguay | Evergreen High School Chandler | Campus de Gaspé (secteur anglo.) |
Congratulations to all of you!
