The Alliance is pleased to present our latest literacy winners. Last year we announced a scholarship program in the memory of literacy champions Bill Hancox, Harry MacLauchlan and Peter Gzowski. The scholarships provide three $1500 awards for adult learners who are continuing their studies at university or college.

The Bill Hancox Memorial Scholarship is for a UPEI student. The MacLauchlan and Gzowski scholarships go to Holland College students.
