Announcing the 2022 recipients of the BMO200 William A. Downe Scholarship Program

August 31, 2022 | Culture, Giving and sponsorships

As many students go back to school in September, we’re proud to award 10 scholarships through the BMO200 William A. Downe Scholarship Program to children and legal wards of BMO employees who are entering into their first post-secondary degree or diploma program. By supporting the educational goals of a new generation of young leaders, BMO is growing the good in the communities we serve for future generations.

The BMO200 William A. Downe Scholarship Program was introduced in 2017, to celebrate BMO’s bicentennial anniversary and mark Bill Downe’s tenure as Chief Executive Officer. The first scholarship recipients were announced in 2018.

The 2022 recipients were selected by the Loran Scholars Foundation, based on the criteria of demonstrated academic achievement, community involvement and leadership potential. Each of the recipients will receive CDN$10,000 for their first year of a higher education program.

Meet the 2022 scholarship recipients:
