Schulich’s Indigenous Pathways Program receives major donation from proud alum – U Calgary

Sept. 26, 2024

Transoft Solutions co-founder Milton Carrasco believes in ‘charity, caring and equity’

Childhood memories and a burning desire to improve the lives of others have always fuelled University of Calgary alum Milton Carrasco’s philanthropic efforts. From modest beginnings when he was forced to move from his home in Uganda, the co-founder of global software company Transoft Solutions has been able to support those who helped him along his journey, including the Schulich School of Engineering.

In the spirit of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Sept. 30, Carrasco has announced Transoft will donate $125,000 over five years to the Schulich Indigenous Pathways Program, which supports Indigenous students in pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree.

“At every opportunity within our means, we contribute towards our corporate social responsibility as best as we can,” says Carrasco, MEng’92. “Transoft’s support of the Indigenous Pathways Program is extra-special to us, as we recognize the lack of representation of the Indigenous population in the field of engineering.”
