Skinner Memorial Scholarship in Nursing
This scholarship was established by a generous donation from the Estate of Edith and Robert Skinner. Robert Skinner (1920-2008) and Edith Skinner (1922-2010) spent most of their married life in Pasadena, Newfoundland and Labrador, where they operated a motel, as well as hunting and fishing lodges in Labrador. Prior to her work in the tourism industry, Edith trained as a nurse and worked for several years on the west coast of the province. One or more scholarships will be awarded annually to undergraduate students entering full-time studies of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Collaborative) Program at the Western Regional School of Nursing. The recipients must meet the minimum academic requirements for a scholarship as defined by Memorial University of Newfoundland, and have graduated from a high school in western Newfoundland or Labrador (that is west of Grand Falls but including Labrador). Preference will be given to students with demonstrated financial need. This scholarship will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Director, Western Regional School of Nursing.
