MacAskill Bursaries

Two bursaries will be awarded annually to two deserving full-time students of good academic standing, based upon financial need as demonstrated in their bursary application. In 1998, Mr. Preston MacAskill of Brackley Beach, PEI established the Preston MacAskill Bursary Fund at the University of Prince Edward Island to assist needy and deserving undergraduate students. Mr. MacAskill passed away in 1999, and supported this bursary in perpetuity through an estate gift to UPEI. These bursaries provide essential financial support to UPEI students who demonstrate both academic merit and financial need.
