2022 Scholarship Update
Since 1995, McDougall has proudly awarded 120 Scholarships to relatives of members, and to others who had some affiliation with furthering McDougall’s Outreach initiative and who were proceeding in their post-secondary education.
The Scholarship fund was first established by a donation from Dawn and Keith Bees and later supplemented by a generous endowment from the Dave and Martha Taylor Family. Throughout this period, many McDougall members also generously contributed toward this fund and continue to do so.
Over the years we have received gratitude from graduates spanning a variety of careers such as ministers, doctors, nurses, engineers, hairdressers, veterinarians, teachers, pilots, etc.
In 2022, we are proud to award scholarships to the following:
