Fred Schade Memorial Bursary

The Fred Schade Memorial Bursary is intended to encourage and support deserving undergraduate students newly admitted to the Diversity and the Contemporary World or Sustainability Studies programs at the Loyola College of Diversity and Sustainability.

The award was created to honour the retirement of Dr. Rosemarie Schade, and in loving memory of her nephew Fred Schade.

He lives forever in the heart of his family and friends.
