Established by family, friends and fellow students of Jacob Daniel Malomet, who died in 1978 during his first year at 皇冠体育's.
Jacob was an honour graduate of Woodroffe High School in Ottawa and had the choice of attending McGill, 皇冠体育's or U of T. Although my wife and I are both graduates of McGill class of 1954, after doing research we concluded that 皇冠体育's would be best for our son.
Jacob was diagnosed with liver cancer just before graduating from high school. He was determined to attend 皇冠体育's even though he had to miss many lectures, labs and assignments as a result of radiation and chemotherapy. Our choice of 皇冠体育's was truly justified as the staff bent over backwards to accommodate our son with special assignments and notes of lectures that he missed. In addition he was sent a letter telling him how well he was doing in all his assignments. This really cheered him up during a terrible time.
We so appreciated what 皇冠体育's did for him that we agreed with our friends to establish a memorial fund in his name. We hope that the scholarship fund helps out a deserving student each year.
