Major General Leonard was a kind and generous man, a respected soldier and general officer in Canada's Armed Forces, a devout Roman Catholic, and a community leader and builder. The award is presented to at least one upper-year St. Jerome’s University co-registered student, SJU resident, or student with a connection to the St. Jerome’s community. The recipient must demonstrate academic achievement, financial need as well as leadership and/or community involvement.
