Lee Wulff Scholarship
A fund was established in 1991 to honour the memory of Lee Wulff (1905-1991), a renowned American sportsman, author, conservationist and environmentalist, who spent a considerable amount of time exploring the waters, barrens and woodlands of Newfoundland, promoting its abundant wildlife resources and supporting conservation. A single scholarship, valued at no less than $1,500.00 will be awarded annually from this fund, to a third year Biology major wishing to pursue further studies in biological sciences, with emphasis on conservation and environment. The award will be made by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Head of Biology and the Dean of Science and will be based on academic excellence in biological sciences and a demonstrated interest in conservation and the environment.
James and Mildred Youden Scholarship
This scholarship was established by a generous donation from James W. and Mildred Youden, a retired couple from Conception Bay South whose children are all Memorial University of Newfoundland alumni. The Youden’s value the importance of a University education to transform lives and they feel privileged to be able to offer this scholarship as a way to advance their belief. Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, it will be awarded annually to a student in the 2nd or 3rd year of study in any undergraduate program in the Faculty of Science. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for a scholarship as defined by Memorial University of Newfoundland. In a case where there are multiple eligible candidates, demonstrated financial need may be used as the deciding factor. This scholarship will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean, Faculty of Science.
