Award Description

McLean Family Scholarship Fund

Established by the McLean Family in 1998 to promote inter-faculty studies between Science and Business and to recognize involvement in the Laurier community. This scholarship was created to express appreciation of Laurier's student-centred flexibility, to celebrate Ian McLean's graduation, and to honour Dr. David Peirson, Chair of the Biology Department. Dr. Peirson, member of the Biology department since 1974 and Chair of that Department since 1989, has inspired and encouraged many students with his patience, fairness, vision, integrity, endless enthusiasm and contagious excitement for the world around us. The successful applicant will have completed first-year as a full-time undergraduate at Laurier, achieved a minimum B- average (7.00 GPA) and have financial need. Preference will be given to a student enrolled in Biology (first major, BA or BSc) and Business Administration (second major or option).
