The Baillieu Research Scholarship was graciously founded through the generous gift of the Honourable William Lawrence Baillieu and his family. With a heartfelt commitment to honoring the sacrifices of those who served, the Baillieu family sought to empower the descendants of World War I veterans who endured the unimaginable—those who were killed, blinded, or rendered totally and permanently incapacitated in the line of duty. This scholarship stands as a testament to their enduring legacy and a beacon of support for the families left behind.
