Dr. Jill Grant retired in 2017, after almost 40 years of outstanding service to teaching and scholarship in planning. Jill is an internationally regarded planner, who has always  challenged us to critically examine the links between planning theory and practice. She is also prolific scholar and writer, whose insights on social planning have helped shape the way we create healthier and more equitable communities. But perhaps most importantly, Jill is a caring mentor, who sent her students into the workforce as critical and creative thinkers, armed with knowledge, confidence and her passion for excellence.

To honour her commitment to our profession and to her students, we’re establishing the Jill Grant Entrance Scholarship for Planning. This award will give recipients the financial breathing room to learn and excel and will make the School of Planning an more attractive option for the top students from across the country.

More on this scholarship and its availability for students will be posted as it is available.
