The awards – specially minted medals – will be presented at the Barrool Suite in the Tynwald building on Friday 1st July.
Tim Crookall MLC, Minister for Education and Children, said: ‘These awards were generously instigated by the North American Manx Association to commemorate the millennium of Tynwald in 1979 and have become a traditional high point in the education calendar.
‘They reward young people with talent and who give time to the community, including those who overcome considerable challenges to do so.’
