S. Cyril MAPLETHORP Memorial Scholarship in Engineering

Award descriptionScholarships totaling $5,550 have been endowed by the Estate of Serge Cyril Maplethorp for students beginning or continuing studies in an Engineering program, with preference given to students in an undergraduate Engineering program. Cyril Maplethorp graduated from the Imperial College at the University of London and emigrated to Canada in 1953. He worked as a consulting civil engineer, mainly in the Lower Mainland and most notably engineered the rebuilding of the PNE Roller Coaster in 1958 (then called the Big Dipper). He was very involved in volunteer activity and was a great friend of UBC. Recommendations are made by the Faculty of Applied Science and, in the case of graduate students, in consultation with the Faculty of Graduate Studies.
