PRINCE GEORGE — Pattison Media Ltd. is pleased to announce the awarding of four scholarships valued at $2,500 each, to deserving students enrolled in journalism studies at institutions across Western Canada.

Pattison Media recognizes that there are significant challenges in both the recruiting of well-trained individuals for News and Information department positions, and there are significant challenges for individuals in the underrepresented groups including:

· Indigenous Persons

· Persons with disabilities

· Members of visible minorities

· Women

Pattison Media expanded the Prairie Equity Scholarship to cover all Western Canadian provinces and increased the annual scholarship offering to a total of up to $10,000.

Pattison Media is pleased to announce the four worthy recipients chosen from a significant number of applicants. The successful Pattison Media Equity Scholarship recipients are:

· Tchadas Leo Broadcast Journalism, BCIT Broadcasting & Online Journalism

· Cara Ellingboe Professional Communications Program, Grant MacEwan University

· Tracy Thomas Journalism Major, Grant MacEwan University

· Jura McIlraith Creative Communications, Red River Polytechnic

Pattison Media looks forward to continuing this annual scholarship plan in January of 2024.
