Procunier Family Scholarship in Music
This scholarship was established through a generous bequest from the Estate of Edwin Procunier. Born in 1927 in Lamaline and raised in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland and Labrador, Procunier left the Province at age 15 when his mother brought Ed and his brother to Ontario so that Ed could attend university. He took Honours English at the University of Western Ontario (UWO) and completed an M.A. at Queen’s University. He was a professor of English and Theatre Arts at Althouse College, UWO and wore many hats throughout his life – professor, playwright, theatre director, art collector and opera aficionado. He was passionate about literature, history, art, theatre and classical music, attending concerts and operas all over the world, and lecturing for the Canadian Opera Company. Valued at a portion of the income of the investment, up to four, full-tuition scholarships for one academic year (two consecutive semesters) are eligible to be awarded annually to students who display and maintain a high standard of musical and academic excellence. Each recipient must be entering a different program year and will be eligible for renewal up to the fourth year of their program of study.

The scholarships will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards based on a recommendation from the Dean, School of Music.
