Supporting future leaders through education: Meet the 2025 BMO scholarship recipients

This fall,10 students who are entering their first post-secondary degree or diploma program will receive the BMO200 William A. Downe Scholarship Program to help them pay for their education. Each recipient is a child or legal ward of a BMO employee and will receive CDN$10,000 for their first year of studies. 

The scholarship will help relieve some of the costs of a post-secondary education so the students can focus on their studies, extracurricular activities – and achieving their educational goals. Scholarship recipients were selected by the Loran Scholars Foundation for demonstrated academic achievement, community involvement and leadership potential.  

Congratulations to the BMO200 William A. Downe Scholarship recipients for 2025! BMO is proud to support the goals and ambitions of these future leaders.
