Mary Louise Peterson Award in Business for IBPOC Students (#1060)

Two awards have been made available annually through a gift from Arbutus Search Group in honour of Mary Louise Peterson for domestic Bachelor of Commerce students who identify as Indigenous, Black or as a person of colour and are in good academic standing. Financial need may be considered. Mary was born in 1946 in Prescott, Ontario and set several records as a track and field athlete while in high school. She is a loving mother, an active member of her community and dedicated to environmental stewardship. This award was established to help make pursuing a business education more accessible to students who face barriers to accessing higher education.
