Alumni giving

Completing a higher-education degree program is challenging, never mind the financial worries. Many students need financial assistance to complete their studies and to get the most of the university experience. Gifts to a scholarship or bursary help financially struggling students cope with the costs of their education. The Haskayne Alumni Scholarships & Bursaries Endowment provides 2 bursaries and 2 scholarships annually, but there is a definite need for more.

This new 5-year fund will allow Dr. Bob Schulz to search out, hire and mentor a qualified candidate to take the helm of the highly successful Haskayne ICBC and Molson MBA case competition teams. Dr. Bob has been involved as an ICBC/MBA coach since the very first competition and much of our students' success is due to his dedication to coaching, his extensive knowledge and his passion for students to succeed.  His succession plan will ensure a smooth transition to new coaches in order to continue our winning tradition at these competitions.

We have had many supporters of the Dr. Bob Business Competition Sustainability Endowment over the past number of years, and this endowment yields enough annual funding in perpetuity to help cover student travel costs to competitions. This is very impactful as it allows students to participate that may otherwise not have the financial ability. The endowment does not, however, yield enough funding to put a succession plan in place, and that is why we are creating the new fund used solely for this purpose over the next 5 years.

This fund will be directed solely toward advancing priority research and program projects outlined in our strategic plan. Funding for these major projects are critical to our success.
