FOR INFORMATION
The following individuals and organizations are supporting term-funded scholarships for students through the Ontario Graduate Scholarships in Science and Technology (OGSST) or the Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) programs. Each year a report will be made to the Board of Governors and Senate listing the donors who, in the 12 months preceding April 30, have given in excess of $1,800 and who choose to be recognized. A gift of $1,800, when matched 2:1 by government funds, is sufficient to support one term of a graduate student's research scholarship.
It is preferable not to submit each individual term-funded scholarship through the established approval process for new awards, because these scholarships are numerous, may only exist for one year, and share similar selection criteria as required by the Faculty of Graduate Studies and the Government of Ontario. Therefore, only scholarships which are endowed in perpetuity will be submitted separately as part of the Scholarship Report to the Board.

| Alzheimer Society of London and Middlesex |
