The Dalhousie Fund

"I believe in the Dal community and that everyone has something to contribute to make a difference. Dal has positively impacted many lives and giving back to students, where it will do the most good, is the right thing to do. It just feels good."

Dr. Wayne Garland, DDS'77

"Through our support of two scholarships in music, we honour the memory of our families while helping students to pursue their dreams of a career in music. It gives us great pride to express our gratitude to Dalhousie for our own students experiences, and for its contributions to the local arts community."

Karen Woolhouse, BSC'65 & Judith Wells, BA'66

"I give to Dal because I've experienced first hand how opportunities like Free Lab and in the field design studios inspire students to learn. It's through exploration that passion is discovered."

Gabriel Prost, BEDS'04, MArch'06

"This spring, my daughter graduated from the Schulich School of Law. I watched as she received her degree almost 30 years to the day from when I walked across the same stage for the same purpose. I felt a sense of pride that is difficult to put into words. That's why I give to my law school."

Jim Spurr, LLB'80

"I give to Dal to help today's students have the same wonderful opportunities I had. Dal's kind and knowledgeable professors encouraged me to develop a solid foundation in theory and research, allowing me to be well prepared for graduate school and my career in psychology."

Jane Grantmyre, BSc Hons'81

"I had an unforgettable time at Dalhousie and enjoyed many opportunities to be involved in campus life. Because of this enriching experience, I'm more than happy to contribute financially to computer science students, give my time to alumni events, and participate as a member of the computer science faculty advisory board."

Curtis Cartmill, BSc Hons (Computer Science)'98

"When I was an undergraduate engineering student, I received a scholarship from the university, and it made a big difference to me. In fact, without scholarships, I probably wouldn't have been able to afford university. By donating to Dalhousie today, I like to think I'm paying it forward - helping today's students the same way alumni once helped me."

Corinne MacDonald, PEng, BEng'89, PhD'06

“I know first hand how important a scholarship is to a student. Dalhousie gave me my first. I grew up in a small rural community where opportunities were few and far between. Dalhousie gave me chances to succeed and I want today’s students to have those same opportunities.”

Dr. Eldon Smith, OC, MD’67
