Dr. Heather Onyett Entrance Scholarship at Grenfell Campus
This scholarship was established by a generous bequest from Dr. Heather Onyett (1945-2020), BAH (University of Toronto), MD (Memorial University of Newfoundland), FRCPC, FAAP, Masters of Public Health (John Hopkins), Professor Emeritus, Queens University. Born and raised in Northern Ontario, her early experiences with remote communities profoundly influenced her life. She was the Memorial University of Newfoundland Faculty of Medicine’s first pediatrician, and spent five years as Chief of Pediatrics in the Grenfell Region as a solo pediatrician providing primary, secondary and tertiary care for the Indigenous and settler children living in remote communities. Her commitment to global health issues was a prominent factor in her professional and personal life for over fifty years as she practiced, taught and volunteered in many challenging regions of the world. Her enduring love of Newfoundland and Labrador inspired this scholarship. Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment it will be awarded annually to an entrance student pursuing full-time undergraduate studies at the Grenfell Campus of Memorial University. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for a scholarship as defined by the University, and must have graduated from a high school in rural Newfoundland and Labrador. Preference will be given to students who have graduated from a high school on the Great Northern Peninsula or Coastal Labrador (including Happy Valley-Goose Bay and nearby communities). The scholarship will be awarded by Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries, and Awards on the recommendation of the Grenfell Campus Scholarship Committee.
