Faculty of Science
The following scholarships, bursaries and awards are available to Faculty of Science students based on a recommendation from the Dean or the appropriate Director or Department Head.
4th Atlantic Conjugate MarginEs Conference Bursary
This Bursary was established by a generous donation from the organizing committee of the 4th Atlantic Conjugate Margins Conference. The conference, held in 2014, was formed to encourage the exchange of ideas about the evolution of the basins of the Atlantic margins. It brought a very large, diverse group of academia and industry from around the world to St. John’s. Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, it will be awarded annually to an undergraduate student enrolled full-time in the Earth Sciences program in either geology and/or geophysics with a preference for students studying the province’s sedimentary basins to improve our knowledge of basin evolution, including but not limited to, both structural and sedimentary processes. The desired goal of the bursary is to advance our understanding of the petroleum systems of our basins. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for a Bursary as defined by Memorial University of Newfoundland and have financial need. This Bursary will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries, and Awards on the recommendation of the Head, Department of Earth Sciences.
