Ed and Mary Lou Martin Award
This award was established by a generous donation from Ed and Mary Lou Martin who are proud supporters of Memorial University of Newfoundland and place a great emphasis on education. Ed and Mary Lou grew up in Grand Falls-Windsor and, at the age of 17, moved to St. John’s to continue their education. Ed and their four sons are graduates of Memorial University and Mary Lou is a registered nurse having graduated from St. Clare’s School of Nursing. Ed and Mary Lou recognize that leaving home to study brings additional financial strain to a student and they hope that this award will help to alleviate some of that pressure. Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, the award will be granted annually to a student from rural Newfoundland and Labrador who has relocated to study at the St. John’s Campus of Memorial University and who meets the minimum academic requirements for an award. The award will be distributed annually to a student in the School of Social Work or the Faculty of Science, on a rotating basis. Preference will be given first to students who have demonstrated financial need and within that pool of candidates, to mature students or student parents where possible. The award will be granted by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean of the appropriate discipline.
