In January 2014, Loyalist welcomed five Fellowship recipients, beginning their studies in the Automotive Service Technician – Apprenticeship program, including Justin Brix, Alan Ivatt, Joel Kiff, Michael Maggiolo and Peter-John McKnight. They join the first 15 Fellowship recipients who began their post-secondary and apprenticeship studies on campus in September 2013. The W. Garfield Weston Foundation Fellowship pilot program is unique to Loyalist College and encourages individuals to consider programs leading to careers in the skilled trades. Students and apprentices who maintain a minimum 70% average can achieve up to $4,000 in bursaries over the course of their studies.
