  • How is the Selection Criteria Determined for the Scholarship I Am Establishing?

    Some donors choose to designate a particular interest in the criteria such as recruitment of candidates who have a specific academic interest or hail from the same city or town as the donor. We invite all donors to participate in establishing the scholarship criteria by expressing their intentions for the award. After a discussion, the Director of Advancement will draft a term sheet according to your specifications and present it for collaboration and approval.

    The major contributor to each fund is notified annually, in the late winter or early spring, once the candidate has signed their award or bursary agreement. You will be informed of the name and hometown of the recipient, as well as the amount of the award or bursary and status of the fund. Your scholarship will also be recognized in our donor listings, unless you wish to remain anonymous.
