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.
Collip Prize in Biochemistry
This prize was established by Dr. Martin Mulligan, a faculty member in the Department of Biochemistry. It is named for James Bertram Collip, the Canadian Biochemist whose experimental expertise was key to obtaining pancreatic extracts pure enough for clinical trials on diabetic humans in 1922. Valued at $500 annually the prize will be awarded in May or as soon as possible after the end of the Winter semester to a full-time undergraduate student, who obtains the best combined marks in four required third year biochemistry program courses, all completed in that academic year, at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Only students who are declared majors in the Biochemistry program at the conclusion of classes in the Winter semester are eligible for this award. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for a prize as defined by the University. The prize will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries, and Awards on the recommendation of the Head, Department of Biochemistry.
Captain James Cook Memorial Scholarship
A fund was established in 1979 by members of the Department of Geography to honour the memory of Captain James Cook (1728-79), explorer, navigator and cartographer, whose years of painstaking mapping of the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador laid the basis for a comprehensive and scientific knowledge of the geography of the province. One or more scholarships, valued at not less than $600.00, will be awarded annually by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Department of Geography to a student or students demonstrating particular merit in Geography.
