Alan Dean and Kathy Kinnear have generously donated $50,000 to fund scholarships for students at the Centre for Construction and Engineering Technologies. The Dean Family Leadership in Construction Award will be awarded to two students each year, for the next five years.
Full-time students in the Honours Bachelor of Technology (Construction Management) program will be eligible to receive this award. Students must obtain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher and demonstrate leadership.
"It is our pleasure to support students who are active in their community," Dean said. "George Brown College provided our children with a great education and a support network that has allowed them to flourish in their desired careers. We are very pleased to give back to a school that does so much for its students. In turn, this will motivate your students to do more for their community."
