Central Regional Integrated Health Authority and Dr. J.F. Brown Bursary
Each year an award is made available to students from the former Central West Board. The annual income shall be awarded as a bursary to a student of any year from the former Central West area who demonstrates the greatest need and who, in the opinion of the Dean, has achieved adequate academic performance. Should for any reason a bursary not be awarded, the entire amount is to be returned to the fund, and the award made the following year in the usual manner. It will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards acting on the decision of the Dean of Medicine’s Advisory Committee on Awards, Bursaries and Scholarships. Applications may be submitted in September of each year.
Glenn Chatman Memorial Award
This award was established by a generous donation from Glenn’s Helping Hand Foundation, in memory of Glenn Chatman. Glenn was a friendly, loving, sentimental young man, with a perpetual smile. He was a charmer, a joker, and even a risk-taker. He was a son, a nephew, a cousin and a best friend. As a tribute to Glenn, his family created Glenn’s Helping Hand Foundation to enhance the quality of life for those living with Diabetes. The family’s goal is to allow people to focus on their health, not their medical bills. Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, the award will be granted annually to a student completing Phase 3 of the MD Program at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Preference will be given to the student who receives the highest cumulative score in Diabetes-related exam questions. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for an award as defined by the University. This award will be granted 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.
