Alex Hemstock Bursary (graduate students)
The APEGA Education Foundation Alex Hemstock Bursary will be awarded annually, in the amount of $5,000, to one deserving engineering graduate student in any discipline attending either the University of Alberta or the University of Calgary. The key criteria for consideration will be financial need.
The Alex Hemstock Bursary is named in honour of Alex Hemstock, P.Eng. Mentoring young engineers was one of the many ways he gave back to his profession over his long and successful career. Although he passed away in 2010 he will continue to make a difference in the lives of young engineers, thanks to the generous donation made by his wife Emily and daughter Betty. This is a wonderful legacy for a man whose passion for engineering and for sharing his knowledge and experience with young engineers, won’t soon be forgotten.

Millennium Scholarship
The APEGA Millennium Scholarship and the Dr. Norman Wagner, OC, Memorial Scholarship are intended to assist the children of APEGA members to pursue a post-secondary education. The scholarships (10), valued at $3,500, will be awarded on the basis of a combination of factors. The primary factor will be the marks achieved in the most recent year of formal education, but significant weight will be placed on accomplishments in other areas.
The scholarship is for one year and will apply to any two-year or longer program in any field of study at any Canadian post-secondary institution. Such programs must have a minimum entrance standard of a High School Diploma. The scholarship will be paid directly to the institution upon confirmation of registration.
The Dr. Norman Wagner, OC, Memorial Scholarship is named in honour of Dr. Norman Wagner, OC. Dr. Wagner served as a public member on APEGA Council from 2001 until his death in 2004. He was president and vice-chancellor of the University of Calgary from 1978 to 1988, the chairman, president and chief executive officer of Alberta Natural Gas Co. Ltd. from 1991 to 1994, and was an officer of the Order of Canada. He was also active in the community and served on many boards.
