Kevin O'Mara Memorial Bursary

The Kevin O'Mara Memorial Bursary was created through the generosity of the family and friends of the late Kevin O'Mara, Ph.D. Computer Science 1997, Master of Computer Science 1991.

"Kevin believed in the value of higher education and lamented the circumstances that denied this opportunity for others. He was a natural teacher, a true friend, and was known for his great generosity and humanity. He inspired friends and students alike with his sometimes profound and often quirky insights and his fearless humour. I know he would want to relieve the burden of costs students face as much as he could." Bruce O'Mara, B.Sc. 1967

The Kevin O'Mara Memorial Bursary is intended to support and encourage deserving students enrolled full-time in the Bachelor of Computer Science program. This In-Course Bursary is non-renewable.

Concordia offers need-based In-Course Bursaries to returning Bachelor's students in the Fall semester.
