Vincent Mercier and Kirsten Halpin Bursary

Osgoode Hall Law School JD students in financial need who face visible or invisible obstacles such as income, mental health, racial, cultural, or gender inequalities, or physical or learning challenges may be considered.

The bursary amount varies. The endowment was matched by Osgoode through the No Barriers initiative. Apply through the Osgoode bursary application.

Vincent Mercier (Osgoode Class of '88) and his wife Kirsten (York '85, Western Law '89) established the bursary to help students with financial need pursue a career in law. Vince has been an M&A partner at Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP; both have also supported Pathways to Education Canada.
