New Medavie Scholarship To Assist Youth Pursuing Post-secondary Studies

Medavie is launching a new scholarship to support youth pursuing post-secondary education.

The $5,000 Medavie Scholarship Honouring Pierre-Yves Julien will be awarded annually to a youth who has overcome adversity related to mental health and is pursuing a health program.

Pierre-Yves Julien is the former CEO of Medavie and a founding member of the Medavie Health Foundation who retired in 2016. He was a steward of our shared vision to improve the health of Canadians. It was through this vision that the Foundation, and our aspirations to address some of our country’s most pressing physical and mental health care changes, was established.

“The Medavie Scholarship is a way for us to directly support a youth who has overcome obstacles related to mental health, either through their own lived experience or that of a family member, and is pursuing higher education. Our youth are the leaders of tomorrow, and this award provides financial assistance in helping them achieve their goal of leading a fulfilling and productive life. It’s also a fitting way for us to recognize Pierre-Yves, whose leadership and contributions have been invaluable to Medavie through the years. His legacy will live on through this scholarship.”
Bernard Lord, CEO, Medavie

Applications for the award, which is being administered by the Medavie Health Foundation, will be accepted until June 30, 2017. For program and application details, please visit the “Scholarship” section on our website.

Les jeunes sont les dirigeants de demain, et cette bourse leur fournit un soutien financier afin de les aider à atteindre leurs objectifs et à mener une vie épanouissante et productive. C’est aussi notre façon d’honorer le leadership de Pierre-Yves Julien et la précieuse contribution qu’il a su apporter à Medavie au fil des années.
