Douglas College has recently created a new entrance scholarship to recognize the efforts of student leaders who coordinate "Dry Grad" events within their school community.
Background: This annual scholarship was established by Susan Diewert Kwong and Peter Kwong in memory of Susan’s late husband, Dr. Gordon L. Diewert, who was tragically killed at the age of 30, when an impaired driver collided with his vehicle on April 28, 1981.
The purpose of this scholarship is to recognize students who have demonstrated a commitment to the fight against drunk driving in their community by volunteering in the organization of their high school’s Dry Grad Ceremony or related activities.
Recipients must provide a letter of reference from a representative on their high school’s Dry Grad Committee outlining their participation in the planning and/or organization of the dry grad event or activities. Preference will be given to candidates with a minimum GPA of 3.50 who will be taking a minimum of 12 credits worth of courses in their first semester.

New Application Deadline: May 6, 2011
