Marjorie Barber Entrance Scholarship

One scholarship, valued at up to $2,000, is awarded annually to an outstanding student who identifies as a woman entering first year in the Faculty of Engineering. This fund is made possible by a donation from Mrs. Marjorie Barber to honour the memory of her husband, Albert Sherwood Barber, P. Eng., LL.D. "Bert" Barber played a major role in paving the way for the promotion and advancement of co-operative education in Canada and is widely recognized as the father of co-operative education in Canada. Mrs. Barber also established this award in order to promote engineering as a viable career for women who are entering university. To honour her memory, an additional donation was made by Barber's family, following her passing in 2011.
