On the Donor
In 2011, Professor Sir David Todd and a friend made a donation to the Medical Faculty to establish a scholarship, the “Paul and Margaret Todd Scholarship for Medical and Nursing Students”, in memory of Professor Todd’s late parents, Dr Paul Jerome Todd and Mrs Margaret Todd.
Upon the passing of Professor Todd in August 2017, friends, former students, colleagues and mourners paid their tribute and donated a a sum to the Scholarship. In 2021, the scholarship was renamed to "Paul and Margaret Todd Memorial Scholarship".
