Paula "Suzanne" MacPherson Memorial Scholarship

The Paula "Suzanne" MacPherson Memorial Scholarship is granted to a third or fourth year full-time undergraduate student enrolled in the Faculty of Business at UPEI who best exemplifies the spirit and legacy of Suzanne MacPherson. Suzanne was an alumna of UPEI and served as VP Finance on the UPEI Student Union Executive. In her career in business, she radiated a caring attitude, instilled a sense of purpose and encouragement in her colleagues, was genuinely authentic with a determination to be honest and resilient, and is remembered for her integrity, selflessness, and ability to light up a room with laughter. If there are two or more equally qualifying candidates, the student in the greatest financial need will be the recipient of this scholarship. Established in the spring of 2018 by Stan and Heather MacPherson in memory of their daughter, Paula "Suzanne" MacPherson, who passed away in March 2016 at the age of 49. Suzanne was a proud alumna of the University of Prince Edward Island (BBA '93) and had a successful career in business in Arizona. This scholarship honors her amazing attributes and the positive impact she had on those around her, with the hope that each year's recipient will display some or all of Suzanne's qualities of caring, authenticity, integrity, and selflessness.
