Duncan Hugh and Millie MacLellan Bursary
This bursary was established by Hugh and Pat Maccagno in honour of Pat’s parents. Duncan Hugh and Millie MacLellan lived exemplary lives. Besides raising 8 children, they organized and participated in sports, community and church activities. They helped many in need, including preparing and serving suppers for society’s lost people. They had a love of Celtic music, especially as played at Cape Breton “Ceilidhs” by local musicians. This tradition and culture flowed from Duncan’s parents, Angus Y and Maggie MacLellan. Angus, during his spare time as Margaree Island lighthouse keeper, wrote wonderful poetry and songs in his ancestral Gaelic. Some of his songs have been recorded by celebrated Nova Scotia musicians. This award is available to one full-time student per year with a minimum average of 75. The student must demonstrate financial need. The award will alternate in 4 year cycles between students majoring in Celtic Studies and students in the Bachelor of Science program. The award will be renewable if the applicant continues to meet the criteria. Preference will be given first to students from Nova Scotia, then Atlantic Canada.
