Le regretté colonel F.A. Tilston a créé des bourses d’admission pour les étudiants de première année en pharmacie qui ont l’indice d’admission le plus élevé, mais qui n’ont pas obtenu de bourse d’admission de plus grande valeur.

Le colonel Tilston a obtenu son diplôme en pharmacie en 1929 et était président-directeur général de Sterling Drug Limited au moment de son départ à la retraite. Il a été le premier diplômé de l’Université de Toronto (et le 9e Canadien) à recevoir la Croix de Victoria, la plus haute distinction honorifique du Commonwealth en temps de guerre, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
