Grateful Patient Bursary
This bursary was established by a gift from an anonymous donor who wanted to support the education of nurses at Memorial University of Newfoundland in recognition and gratitude for the nursing care he received during a difficult time in his life. Valued at a portion of the income on the investment, one or more bursaries will be awarded annually to Memorial University of Newfoundland students entering the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Collaborative) Program who have demonstrated financial need as well as meet the minimum academic requirements for a bursary as defined by the University. It is the donor’s wish that the recipients, at such time when they are financially able, will contribute back to the Grateful Patient Bursary to enable the Fund to grow and assist more students. This bursary will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean, Faculty of Nursing.

Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, this award will be granted annually on a rotating basis between the Faculty of Nursing and the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science to an undergraduate student entering the University from high school. The Nursing award will be granted to a student in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Collaborative) program who is from a rural community in Newfoundland and Labrador. In cases where more than one suitable candidate is identified, special consideration will be given to those with demonstrated record of community service in their rural community. The Engineering award will be granted to a student entering the undergraduate program from a rural community, with preference to a student from Labrador. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for an award.
