About this Award

The Marc Roy Scholarship Fund, created in 1998, was made possible through funds raised during the Marc Roy telethon. Marc Roy (B.Com. 1962) had a long history with the University of Ottawa, and in particular with the Telfer School of Management, previously known as the Faculty of Administration. While studying at the University, Roy was secretary-treasurer of the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa. As an alumnus, he was very dedicated to the University and was involved in a variety of ways: he was president and a member of the Alumni Association’s board of directors, president of the alumni chapter Cercle de Québec, founder and president of the Management Club and member of the Board of Governors. Roy was also a very active volunteer who worked tirelessly to raise money for students at the Telfer School of Management.

The Roy family and the Telfer School of Management are grateful to the Government of Ontario for matching donations under its Ontario Student Opportunities Trust Fund (OSOTF).

A second Fund, the Marc Roy Fund, has been funding various activities in the field of education at the Telfer School of Management since 1991.
