For the past 39 years, this donor from the Class of 1955 has provided more than $225,000 in support of projects benefiting the leadership and character development of our future leaders of Canada.\u00a0 More importantly over $212,000 of which went into his Endowment to support Mechanical Engineer and Aerospace Post Graduates.<\/p>\n
Here is a note below from one of the recipients of his award and his gratitude for the Scholarship:<\/p>\n
Dear Anonymous Benefactor,<\/p>\n
I would like to thank you for your donation to the “Mech and Aero PG Scholarship”.\u00a0\u00a0Your scholarship\u00a0helps me worry less about finances and\u00a0allows me to focus on my studies and research.\u00a0\u00a0Your anonymous donation shows you are truly an altruistic person; you impact society in such a positive way and forego the public recognition.\u00a0\u00a0It’s inspirational.\u00a0\u00a0I hope to one day find myself in a position where I can \u201cPay it forward\u201d through a similar act of generosity.\u00a0 Until then I will do my best to produce research that has the potential to\u00a0move the aerospace industry forward.<\/p>\n
On behalf of all current and past RMC students, I would like to thank you for your generosity.<\/p>\n
Regards,<\/p>\n
