Jenna Joyce Broomfield Award
This award was established by Anne Campbell and Janet Lenover in tribute to Jenna Broomfield. Ms. Broomfield is an Inuk woman from Labrador who, through her perseverance and tenacity, became the first lawyer admitted to the Alberta Bar in full traditional attire. Ms. Broomfield was inspired to enter law as a way to contribute back to her community. Valued at $2,000 annually the award will be granted to a student who identifies as a woman or as a gender-diverse person in any year of undergraduate studies at Memorial University of Newfoundland, who is of Labrador Inuit or Innu heritage, and who meets the minimum academic requirements for an award as defined by the University. Students can demonstrate their Indigenous heritage through provision of a membership card or demonstrate that they are claimed by their Indigenous community by providing a letter from a leader in their Indigenous community (for example, an Elder or local leader). Preference will be given to Indigenous residents of Labrador. If there are no candidates of Labrador heritage in a given year, the award may be given to a Canadian student who identifies as a woman or as a gender-diverse person, who is Indigenous, in any year of undergraduate studies and who meets the minimum academic requirements for an award as defined by the University. The Award may be renewable for up to four additional years, five (5) years in total, provided the recipient  maintains the minimum academic requirements for an award as defined by the University, continues in their first undergraduate degree, and funding is available.  A new student will be selected when the previous student completes their eligibility.  The award will be granted by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the basis of an application which is available at the Scholarships and Awards Office website.
