Layton and Thelma Smallwood Bursary in Medicine
The Layton and Thelma Smallwood Bursary in Medicine is endowed through a gift from the Smallwood Family (Cathy, Ray, Melissa, Amanda and Matthew). Layton and Thelma came from a modest background and grew up in rural Prince Edward Island. They were exceptionally hard workers and very generous members of their community. They believed that personal development through formal education, as well as the general acquisition of knowledge through informal means were critical to an individual’s success and the attainment of many personal goals. Layton and Thelma Smallwood had a granddaughter who studied in the Faculty of Medicine, Memorial University of Newfoundland and it is therefore appropriate that their generosity and belief in education be honoured with a bursary in their name. Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, the bursary will be awarded annually to a student who has completed either first or second year in the Doctor of Medicine degree program. The recipient must have demonstrated financial need and meet the minimum academic requirements for a bursary as defined by the University. This bursary will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean of Medicine’s Advisory Committee on Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards.
Studentship in Physician and Medical Student Health and Well-Being

An opportunity will be provided to the donor for viewing the output. Valued at $3,000, it is open to all undergraduate medical students. Application forms are to be submitted to the Faculty of Medicine’s Office of Student Affairs.

Undergraduate Award in Professional Studies
The Undergraduate Award in Professional Studies was established by Mr. Alan Rowe (B.Comm. ’78) through a generous donation to the Dare To Campaign. Eligible candidates must be Indigenous students from Labrador or the Territories of Canada who are enrolled full- time in the entrance year of an undergraduate professional program. Two new recipients will be selected each year on a rotating basis, between the Faculties of Business Administration, Engineering and Applied Science, Medicine, Nursing, Education and the Schools of Pharmacy, and Social Work. The award is valued at $2,500 per year and is renewable for up to three additional years (four years in total) if the recipient continues to be enrolled full-time in an undergraduate professional program and maintains clear academic standing as defined by Memorial University of Newfoundland. If a successful candidate entering a professional program is not identified in the discipline on rotation in a given year, an eligible student from one of the other disciplines may be selected. If no eligible student is identified from the entering year of any professional program, then the award may be given to a student beyond entrance level in a professional program. Preference will be given to students who have demonstrated financial need. The award is granted by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards in consultation with the Indigenous Student Resource Centre as needed.
