The Walter Gage Memorial Fund provides financial support for non-curricular student projects and activities that enhance the University’s reputation and have broad interest to students at UBC.
The Fund is named after Walter H. Gage, who served UBC for more than 50 years, five as President. His commitment to students and teaching distinguish his contributions to the university.
He impressed students with his superior teaching, his ability to remember names throughout the years, his concern for individual students, and his legendary willingness to help students.
He was particularly interested in developing student financial support programs and often gave financial assistance to students from his own pocket. His generosity cut across all faculties at UBC and left an indelible mark.
