Augustine Nash Memorial Scholarship
The Augustine Nash Memorial Scholarship has been established by Edward Nash in memory of his father, Augustine Nash. Augustine was born in Branch, St. Mary’s Bay and had thirteen children who attended Fatima Academy. Great emphasis was placed on the value of education in his household. To be eligible for this scholarship, a student must have graduated from Fatima Academy, in St. Bride’s, Newfoundland and be enrolled in the first year of any program at Memorial University of Newfoundland. The recipient must meet the academic requirements for a scholarship as defined by the University. Where possible, preference will be given to students with demonstrated financial need. In the event that a qualified student from Fatima Academy is not available in a given year, the scholarship may be given, under the same terms and conditions to a student who has graduated from a high school in the electoral district that serves Fatima Academy. It will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards.
