Amy Menon Marleau Undergraduate Entrance Scholarship

Created in 2008 in loving memory of Amy Menon Marleau by her husband, Hubert Marleau, and by her friends, the Amy Menon Marleau Undergraduate Entrance Scholarship will support and encourage newly-admitted full-time students in the Bachelor of Arts program, in Honours, Specialization, or Major in English Literature.

Amy was an elegant woman, a cherished and considerate friend, and a beloved and supportive wife. We will remember her for her deep passion for writing, human empathy and active involvement in community life and various charitable projects such as Lissadell Ladies Club, The Centaur Theater and the Montreal Neurological Institute Library. She was a truly unique and interesting woman. One thing is for certain, her presence was enveloping, for no matter how much time one had with her, it never seemed to be enough. Her kindness, generosity and unconditional love will be deeply missed. Amy held several university degrees, including a BA and an MA from Concordia's English department.

This scholarship is awarded on the basis of academic ranking as assigned by the University in the course of admission file processing, and is non-renewable.
