HSC Alumni Award of Distinction Graduate Scholarship
2011-2012 The Honourable Mr. Justice Randall Scott Echlin‘ 69
In 2005, the College in collaboration with the HSC Alumni Association set out to create a prestigious award to celebrate the success of HSC Alumni while inspiring the student body of today. The result is the Alumni Award of Distinction, which honours Alumni who exemplify the Hillfield Strathallan College vision to realize their full potential, become global citizens and better the world around them.
A scholarship of $1,000 per year for up to four years is awarded to a graduating student, in the name of the current recipient of the Alumni Award of Distinction. Thus the Alumni Award of Distinction helps to launch one of HSC’s newest Alumni into a distinct future of his/her own.
