LOLA WRIGHT NETTLESHIP (NÉE ARMSTRONG) MATURE STUDENT BURSARY

The Lola Wright Nettleship (Née Armstrong) Mature Student Bursary is intended to encourage and reward mature students newly enrolled in any undergraduate program at the University.

The Lola Wright Nettleship (Née Armstrong) Mature Student Bursary is an initiative started by Sir George Williams University alumnus, Dr. David N. Nettleship (BA’65). The bursary is established in honour of his mother, Mrs. Lola Nettleship (née Armstrong), who began her education as a mature student and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree on 28 May 1967 (SGW ’67) after raising her children and while working full-time at the National Film Board of Canada in Montreal. She was a woman dedicated to education with a passion for the power of knowledge.
