Meet the 2020 Sobey National Innovators Scholarship recipients
On October 2nd, Saint Mary’s University and the Sobey School of Business announced the first recipients of the new Sobey National Innovators and Sobey MBA Scholarships.
The Sobey National Innovators Scholarship Program brings the most promising business students in Canada to the Sobey School of Business. Made possible by the generosity of the Sobey Family, The Sobey Foundation, Sobeys Inc., and Empire Company Limited, these ten renewable undergraduate entrance awards are valued at $50,000 over four years and are awarded annually to exceptional students from across Canada. The initial scholarship in academic year 1 is $20,000. The renewal value in academic years 2-4 is $10,000 per year.
This scholarship is renewable if the student recipient achieves the university academic requirement for scholarship renewal as it may change from time to time.
This scholarship program will support 150 students over the next ten years with the goal of supporting the best and brightest graduate and undergraduate business students in the country to come to Saint Mary’s University and the Sobey School of Business.

Made possible by the Sobey Transformational Gift, these five renewable entrance awards are valued at $30,000 each and are awarded annually to outstanding MBA students from across Canada in recognition of their accomplishments, and as encouragement and support for their success in the Sobey School of Business.
Our goal is to attract and support students from across the country by distributing these regionally, with two for students from Western Canada and the Territories, two for students from Ontario and Quebec, and on for students from Atlantic Canada. Additionally, we aim to award a minimum of 2/5 to women applicants.

Since 2006, Sobeys Leadership Awards have been supported by the Sobeys Inc. Scholarship Endowment Fund. Five new renewable awards of $4,000 each are distributed annually. If all returning students meet the award criteria, this could result in 20 awards of $4000, or $80,000, distributed in a single year. These awards recognize community service, leadership, academic achievement, and financial need, and are given to full-time undergraduate students enrolled in the Sobey School of Business who demonstrate community service leadership, financial need, and satisfactory academic achievement.

Recipients qualify for renewed scholarships from Saint Mary’s for $4,000 for each of their second, third, and fourth years of their degrees. Awarded to a graduating high school student from Canada enrolled as a full-time undergraduate in the Sobey School of Business, recipients demonstrate superior academic achievement and leadership in community service. Recipients who maintain a GPA of at least 3.0 and remain at the Sobey School of Business may apply to work as summer interns for Sobeys Inc. during the three summers of their undergraduate degrees.
