Dr. Arthur May Memorial Undergraduate Scholarship
This scholarship was established in honour of the late Dr. Arthur May, Memorial University of Newfoundland’s President and Vice- Chancellor from 1990-99. It was established by generous donations from friends and family and through entry fees and donations from corporate and individual participants in the annual Memorial University Scholarship Golf Tournament, which he founded. Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, the Dr. Arthur May Memorial Undergraduate Scholarship will be awarded annually to a second or third year undergraduate student in any program of study. The recipients must meet the minimum academic requirements for a scholarship as defined by the University. This scholarship will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards.
Hector and Fanny McNeil Memorial Trust Fund Scholarships

This scholarship will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards.
Memorial on Parade Bursary Fund
This bursary was created through the generous support of the alumni of Memorial’s Parade Street Campus. Memorial College opened its doors on Parade Street in 1925. It was established as a memorial to the Newfoundlanders who lost their lives on active service during the First World War and was later dedicated to also encompass those lost in the Second World War. In 1950, the College was elevated to full university status. In 1961, Memorial University of Newfoundland moved from the Parade Street location to the Elizabeth Avenue Campus. The alumni of the Parade Street Campus established this bursary to support students who want to better themselves through higher education, just as they were so fortunate to do decades ago. Valued at a portion of the income on the investment, the bursary will be awarded annually to a student who has graduated from high school in Newfoundland and Labrador and is entering their final year of undergraduate studies in any Faculty or program at the St. John’s Campus. The recipient must have demonstrated financial need, as well as meet the minimum academic requirements for a bursary as defined by Memorial University of Newfoundland. This bursary will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards.
Memorial University Golf Tournament Scholarship
This scholarship fund was established in 1998 as a result of entry fees and donations from corporate and individual participants in the Annual Memorial University Scholarship Golf Tournament. Proceeds from this tournament have developed an endowment that supports scholarships valued at a portion of the annual income on the investment. The scholarships will be awarded to second or third year undergraduate students based on scholarship standing, with the exact number of awards to be decided by the Golf Tournament Operations Committee each year. In an effort to ensure that, over time, awards are dispersed throughout the University’s various academic units, only one scholarship per year will be awarded within an academic unit and none will be awarded in a given year to students from an academic unit that was represented by a recipient the year before. Recipients may not be simultaneously in receipt of a general scholarship of equal or higher value at the time of the awarding of the scholarship. The scholarships are awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards.
