This is an award the McKeil’s feel so strongly about that the $5000 scholarship is presented to six students each year, based on criteria from Mohawk College’s five learning outcomes.

Bursaries
Supporting students in need.
Mohawk College Bursaries support full-time students with financial need.
Through his career as a general dentist in Hamilton, Dr. Frank Stechey has had a keen interest in forensic dentistry. He is known internationally for his efforts involving the recognition, detection, reporting and prevention of patient and victim abuse. This passion led him to the creation of PANDA (Prevent Abuse & Neglect through Dental Awareness) Ontario coalition, in 1996, followed by the BEAR program.
In lieu of fees for his presentations about these programs, Dr. Stechey requested that honorariums be directed to the BEAR bursary established at Mohawk College.
Since inception, the award has provided financial support to more than 13 students in need, and has heightened awareness of abuse.
Awards and bursaries go a long way towards alleviating financial stress for students.
