In addition to academic and personal integrity,
nominations were evaluated based on the student’s classroom engagement and
initiative. The scholarship review committee, a non-partisan board including
educators and administrators from colleges and universities across Canada,
reviewed the applications. The committee looks for students who show respect and
empathy for others, whose overall behaviour and participation have a positive
impact on the classroom, and who draw upon the full array of learning resources
available to them. To be eligible for the scholarship, each student must be
nominated by a professor.

“It is evident these winners bring exceptional value to the classroom based
on the nominations we received. We are proud to celebrate these students’
involvement in enhancing their educational experience and that of their peers,”
said Patrick Ferrier, president of McGraw-Hill Ryerson Higher Education. “As a
major provider of learning solutions, McGraw-Hill Ryerson looks forward to
continuing to recognize outstanding individuals through our scholarship
program.”

McGraw-Hill Ryerson will accept 2009 scholarship nominations until June 15,
