Roderick Stirling MacDonald Scholarships for the School of Climate Change and Adaptation (Entrance)

Granted to ten (10) students entering their first year of UPEI's School of Climate Change and Adaptation who have achieved an 80% or greater academic average in the previous year of study and have demonstrated a passion for improving the effects of climate change. In December 2017, UPEI received a $1,000,000 gift from the Estate of H. Ruth MacDonald. She remembered UPEI through a planned gift in her Will in memory of her husband Roderick. The significant contribution she provided will create many scholarships and impact numerous students, assisting in imparting them with skills that will enhance our local and global communities. Including an additional gift received in the summer of 2019, over $1,200,000 will support academically gifted undergraduate and graduate students at UPEI.
