The University of Saskatchewan has received $1M from alumnus Murray Hunter to establish the George and Winnifred Hunter Memorial Award Fund in honour of his parents. The fund will provide annual scholarships to USask students who might not have the financial means to attend university. The scholarships will be open to those who are pursuing a bachelor’s degree in agriculture and bioresources, engineering, or education, with a preference for those from the Nipawin area. “My dad borrowed money to get me going,” said Hunter. “I still choke up when I think about it. So, I think maybe I can help somebody who needs a good head start.”
