About

In memory of their father, Michael C. Markovitz, Ph.D. and Lawrence J. Markovitz, M.D. established the Jacob Markovitz Memorial Scholarship Fund in 1987. Throughout his life, Jacob Markovitz followed the Biblical injunction of charity and showing kindness to strangers.

They are delighted that funds are available at Yorkville University to carry on this good work. Throughout the years, these scholarships have supported many graduate students in the helping professions at a number of academic institutions.

All students with Canadian citizenship or landed immigrant status in Canada who have submitted a complete application to a graduate program at Yorkville University are eligible to apply. Please note the following rules which must be followed in order to apply for a scholarship.
