The Hartley T. Richardson Student Support Fund

Creating opportunities for a world-class business education

Congratulations to Dr. Hartley T. Richardson [BComm(Hons)/77, LLD/04] for receiving the 2019 International Distinguished Entrepreneur Award (IDEA) - a fitting tribute to an inspirational leader who has achieved remarkable entrepreneurial success.

Family, friends and fellow U of M alumni added their own personal touch to the IDEA celebration, surprising Dr. Richardson with the unveiling of the Hartley T. Richardson Student Support Fund. Established in honour of Dr. Richardson’s commitment to youth and education, this fund will reduce barriers and create life-changing opportunities through two new renewable bursary programs for students in the Asper School of Business.

Thanks to more than 240 generous donors, $3.5 million has been raised to enable students with limited financial means to obtain a world-class business education.

If you have not yet contributed to this transformational initiative, you can still make a gift.
