Fry Family Foundation Charlotte Penwell Dolimount Memorial Scholarship
The Fry Family Foundation Charlotte Penwell Dolimount Memorial Scholarship is part of the Fry Family Foundation Awards program. The scholarship was created to recognize and encourage tomorrow’s great leaders. The Fry Family Foundation was founded by Darryl and Marlene (nee Sellars) Fry, who were born, raised and educated in Newfoundland and Labrador. They are alumni of Memorial University and have a passion for both the university and the province. The Foundation helps to build stronger communities by investing in the development of young talent, as well as supporting health, social causes, nature and the arts. This scholarship is named in honour of Marlene Fry’s grandmother, who lived in Grand Bank, NL where she raised and helped educate her 11 children, which was beyond the norms of her time. Valued at $5,000, this scholarship will be awarded on the basis of scholarship standing to students who have graduated from a high school in Grand Bank or Fortune. Where possible, the scholarship will be awarded to a student planning to enter the Bachelor of Education degree program at Memorial University of Newfoundland. The scholarship will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards.
