The International Pacific halibut Commission funds several Merit Scholarships to support University and Technical College education. The scholarship fund has been established to assist the further education of those connected to the halibut fishery and its industry. A limited number of scholarships each currently valued at $2000 (US) per year, will be awarded. The scholarships are available to Canadian and U.S. students with a connection to the halibut industry. A committee of industry and Commission representatives will review applications and determine recipients based on academic qualifications, career goals, and relationship to the halibut fishery. The scholarships for 2004 will be available for educational entrance or continuation in Fall 2004. Additional questions can be directed to either Christine Carr ((206) 634-1838 ext. 201) or Bruce Leaman (ext. 203). Applications are available through the Commission offices and must be received by July 1, 2004:
