Fraser Noseworthy Memorial International Scholarship

Fraser Noseworthy Memorial International Scholarship

Fraser Noseworthy was a freshman in the Bachelor of Health Sciences Program in the Health & Society major at the University of Calgary. His life was tragically cut short in an accident in 2005. Although, Fraser had been part of the Health Sciences Program for a few short months, he touched all of those with whom he had contact. Fraser was enriched by his international travels and so this scholarship program sustains his legacy for others.
