Posted on Nov. 29: McMaster recognizes top scholars

[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/scholar_awards.jpg” caption=”Scholar award recipients”]Eight first-year students were recently recognized with McMaster Scholar Awards, valued at approximately $30,000 each over four years.

This year's winners competed against more than 1,000 applicants from across Canada. The recipients are, pictured in front, right to left, Ayesha Hashambhoy, Christina Schoenhoeffer, Kalinda Ramsaran and Alicia Pinarello. Pictured in back, right to left, are Michael Schatte, Trisha Pataki, President Peter George, Heather Wong and Karleen Dudeck.

The McMaster Scholar Awards are the University's most prestigious entrance scholarships. In 2002-03, the McMaster Scholar Awards were redesigned to increase the value of the scholarships. In 2002, first-year meal plans and residence costs were added to the cash value of the award. The awards are presented to students with an average of 90 per cent or higher and who have demonstrated strong academic, extracurricular and leadership achievements.
