Victoria Legge Award for Spiritual Leadership
This award was established by Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship, Mosaic University Chapel and the School of Social Work to honour Victoria Legge (1990-2013), a graduating B.S.W. student of the Class of 2013. Victoria was an executive member of Chi Alpha and an active member of Mosaic University Chapel. She developed her character and became a leader through active involvement with Emmanuel Pentecostal Tabernacle in Deer Lake and later at Mosaic University Chapel. Known as a positive, optimistic and socially conscious person, Victoria wished to make a difference in her community. Valued at $300, the award will be granted annually to a full- time student graduating with a Bachelor of Social Work (B.S.W.) in the year in which the application is submitted. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for an award as defined by Memorial University of Newfoundland. Preference will be given to a student who has demonstrated a commitment to social justice and service to humanity and/or the environment through involvement in faith based activities and spiritual leadership. An application is required which is available at the School of Social Work. The award will be granted by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean, School of Social Work.
Ed and Mary Lou Martin Award
This award was established by a generous donation from Ed and Mary Lou Martin who are proud supporters of Memorial University of Newfoundland and place a great emphasis on education. Ed and Mary Lou grew up in Grand Falls-Windsor and, at the age of 17, moved to St. John’s to continue their education. Ed and their four sons are graduates of Memorial University and Mary Lou is a registered nurse having graduated from St. Clare’s School of Nursing. Ed and Mary Lou recognize that leaving home to study brings additional financial strain to a student and they hope that this award will help to alleviate some of that pressure. Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, the award will be granted annually to a student from rural Newfoundland and Labrador who has relocated to study at the St. John’s Campus of Memorial University and who meets the minimum academic requirements for an award. The award will be distributed annually to a student in the School of Social Work or the Faculty of Science, on a rotating basis. Preference will be given first to students who have demonstrated financial need and within that pool of candidates, to mature students or student parents where possible. The award will be granted by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean of the appropriate discipline.
