Husky White Rose Extension Diversity Project Scholarship
This scholarship was established by a generous donation from Husky Energy to recognize the importance of a skilled and diverse workforce. Husky strongly supports economic development in Newfoundland and Labrador and believes that education is important in developing and sustaining a successful community. Husky is seeking to develop the pool of qualified diversity group members interested in pursuing careers in operational aspects of the oil and gas industry. Two scholarships, valued at $2,500 each will be awarded annually to undergraduate students from the faculties of Earth Sciences, Engineering and/or Business. The scholarships will be awarded on a rotating basis, and each year the two recipients must be from different faculties. The recipients will identify as one or more of the following: female, indigenous, person with a disability and/or member of a visible minority. This scholarship will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean of the recipient faculty.
Scott Hussey and Karen Joseph Memorial Scholarship in Business Administration
This scholarship was established from contributions to Memorial University of Newfoundland by fund raising efforts of the Commerce Class of 1985 and other friends and relatives of Scott and Karen. The scholarship, valued at a portion of the annual income, will be awarded to an undergraduate student beyond Term 4 in the Co-op program of the Faculty of Business Administration. It is not necessarily intended for the student with the highest academic average but rather a student who combines scholarship standing and leadership ability. It will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the basis of a recommendation from the Dean, Faculty of Business Administration. While financial need is not to be considered a major criterion, it can be used as a deciding factor in the case of students who may otherwise be equally qualified in a given year.
