The Honourable Douglas Everett Entrepreneurial Opportunity Fund Bursary

This Bursary will be awarded to a student in the Faculty of Business and Economics who shows academic promise and financial need as identified by the Opportunity Fund. It seeks to support Indigenous students, new Canadians and refugees, and students from inner-city neighbourhoods. From a young age, Douglas Everett believed that structures should be set in place to lend a helping had to those who are less fortunate. A firm believer in free trade and human rights, he played a crucial role in his position with the government. Friends of the Everett family, and the family itself, established this award to assist deserving students with their post-secondary education, carrying on Douglas Everett’s legacy of activism and opportunity while displaying a true entrepreneurial spirit.
