Herbert M. Clarke Scholarship in Mathematics
This scholarship was established by a generous donation from H. Fraser Clarke to honour his father. Herbert M. Clarke grew up and graduated from high school in Norris Point, NL. He went on to attend Memorial University of Newfoundland and in 1965, was awarded a B.Ed. and B.Sc. (Honours Mathematics, ‘Maxima Cum Laude’). Utilizing the discipline and analytical skills gained from the study and application of mathematics was a key part of Mr. Clarke’s long and diverse career of positive contribution and commitment. His work included public administration and policy, resource development and public engagement. He worked primarily in Newfoundland and Labrador, in both the public and private sectors at senior executive and board levels. Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, the scholarship will be awarded annually to an undergraduate student, in any year of study, who has declared a major in Pure Mathematics or Applied Mathematics. The recipient must have graduated from a high school in Newfoundland and Labrador with preference given to a student who is not in receipt of another scholarship. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for a scholarship as defined by Memorial University of Newfoundland. This scholarship will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Head, Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
Concert Crowd 50th Anniversary Award
This award was established by a generous donation from the Concert Crowd, a performing arts group that originated with residents of Logy Bay, Middle Cove, and Outer Cove. It is comprised of amateur singers, dancers, actors and musicians, storytellers and script writers, with many members joining throughout the years. The Concert Crowd focuses on entertainment which maintains a distinctly traditional flavour and which strives to promote, preserve and support the Irish and Newfoundland and Labrador ancestry so prevalent and cherished in our province. Valued at $1,000, it will be awarded annually on a rotating basis between the School of Music and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. In years where it is granted to a student in the School of Music, the recipient must be beyond their first year of study. In years where it is granted to a student in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, the recipient must be beyond their first year of study and enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in English or Folklore. Students may self-nominate by submitting a one-page letter outlining their qualifications to the department head to be considered for this award. In both cases, preference will be given to students with an interest in Newfoundland and Labrador traditional music, theatre and culture as demonstrated by their course selections and/or their performing (including writing and directing) and/or research activities. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for an award as defined by Memorial University of Newfoundland. If there are no eligible candidates in any given year in the assigned School or Faculty, the award may be given to an eligible candidate in the other School or Faculty. It will be granted by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries, and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean, School of Music or the Dean, Humanities and Social Sciences, as appropriate.
