Established by family, friends and fellow students of Jacob Daniel Malomet, who died in 1978 during his first year at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½.
Jacob was an honour graduate of Woodroffe High School in Ottawa and had the choice of attending McGill, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ or U of T. Although my wife and I are both graduates of McGill class of 1954, after doing research we concluded that ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ would be best for our son.
Jacob was diagnosed with liver cancer just before graduating from high school. He was determined to attend ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ even though he had to miss many lectures, labs and assignments as a result of radiation and chemotherapy. Our choice of ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ was truly justified as the staff bent over backwards to accommodate our son with special assignments and notes of lectures that he missed. In addition he was sent a letter telling him how well he was doing in all his assignments. This really cheered him up during a terrible time.
We so appreciated what ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ did for him that we agreed with our friends to establish a memorial fund in his name. We hope that the scholarship fund helps out a deserving student each year.
