University of British Columbia John Scarfo Wellness Bursary 2024

The John R. Scarfo Wellness bursary has been made available through an endowment established by Dr. John R. Scarfo for students who have demonstrated financial need and are committed to a healthy lifestyle. Successful applicants will demonstrate a commitment to good health and wellbeing, such as precluding the use of tobacco and illicit drugs.

Dr. Scarfo came from a family with 12 children and would not have been able to receive his MD at UBC without the generosity of Dean Walter Gage. Having been the recipient of the generosity of others, Dr. Scarfo wishes to support UBC students and honour those who had supported him. These bursaries are adjudicated by Enrolment Services.
