Louis and Verna Ashby Memorial Entrance Bursary

The Louis and Verna Ashby Memorial Entrance Bursary was created in 2000 through the generosity of Mr. William W. Ashby and his family, and dedicated to the memory of his parents. Mr. Ashby received two degrees from Sir George Williams University, a Bachelor of Commerce in 1964 and a Bachelor of Arts in 1966. Mrs. Marilyn J. Ashby received a Bachelor of Arts in Community Health Nursing from Concordia University in 1984. Their son, Michael Ashby, earned a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature in 1998.
