Thanks to a generous bequest from Margarete and John Woollatt, students who are struggling to find the financial resources to pursue post-secondary education will have the support they need to focus on their studies and inspire others to do the same.
Legacy donors give from the heart. THERE ARE FEW THINGS IN LIFE that could make Margarete, a shy, studious woman, lose her cool. But the memory of hearing someone suggest that a student from an underprivileged background shouldn’t attend university stuck with her. When it came time for Margarete and her husband John (both Laurier grads) to discuss their wills, the conversation sparked memories of the past and reignited Margarete’s convictions. They decided to leave a bequest to Laurier to help students in financial need.
