Devon Lord Brooks Award Fund

Devon Lord Brooks was a dedicated student and a passionate athlete. Devon passed away unexpectedly at the age of 27. She was at work on two additional degrees, and was a competitive national-level figure skater and power cheerleader in her high school and undergraduate years. She was also a wakeboarder, a gymnast, and a snowboarder. Devon believed in the unified strength of body, mind and spirit.

This scholarship fund was created in her memory. Recognizing academic excellence, athletic ability and financial need, the fund seeks to encourage the strength of mind, body and spirit that Devon personified.

The Brooks family has a long association with the Toronto Metropolitan University community, and directed the fund to support student-athletes. Donations made to the Devon Lord Brooks Award will be placed in an endowment fund, creating student awards in her name in perpetuity. It is the first endowed award in Athletics at Toronto Metropolitan University. 

The generous support of donors to the Devon Lord Brooks Award is already at work supporting promising students; 101 students have received the award since it was granted in 2013.

Donations in memory of Devon Lord Brooks are giving new opportunities to students. Please give generously.
