The Claudette-MacKay-Lassonde Excellence Scholarship, part of the Order of the White Rose Scholarship program, is a Canada-wide $25,000 scholarship awarded annually. It supports female undergraduate students in engineering whose engagement paves the way for the next generation.
Created thanks to a generous donation from the Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation (CEMF), this scholarship is named in memory of CEMF founder Claudette MacKay-Lassonde and embodies the values of leadership, academic excellence and community engagement championed by the CEMF for more than 30 years.
Its purpose is to help young women in engineering achieve their ambitions and to make a difference by providing financial support for outstanding students who are engaged in the community.
The Claudette-MacKay-Lassonde Excellence Scholarship is awarded every year in August during the Folie Technique summer camp, which introduces children to science and engineering.
