Scholarships/awards
Award description:
Two scholarships, valued at $1,500 each, are awarded annually to full-time undergraduate students entering Year Two, Three, or Four in the Faculty of Mathematics and/or the Faculty of Engineering (excluding the School of Architecture) on the basis of academic excellence (minimum 80%) and demonstrated commitment to volunteerism. Preference will be given to students who have been involved in Scouts Canada, Scottish Dance, or the Royal Canadian Air Force, Cadets or any other military service. Interested students should submit an application by October 1. This fund is made possible by a donation from Howard Boyd (BMath 1976) in memory of his wife Marita Boyd. Marita had a passion for volunteerism as shown through her service of over 40 years with Scouts Canada. She also loved all things Scottish, expressed through her active membership in the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. In 2012 Marita was awarded the Queen’s Silver Jubilee medal by His Excellency the Right Honourable Governor General, David Johnston, for her commitment to community service.
