Judy Peddle Memorial Bursary
This bursary was established by Mr. Calvin Peddle, in loving memory of his wife, Judy Peddle. Judy was a fun loving, caring and giving person. She was a beacon of strength and determination who met every challenge with an insurmountable resilience and a positive attitude. Judy was a wife, an aunt, a sister, a daughter, and an unforgettable friend to all who knew and loved her. Her beauty and endless heart were shown in her relationship to all lives she touched, in the crafts she created and in the way her smile lit up everyone’s life. Her life was always like Spring, with the brightness and promise of a better tomorrow. As a tribute to Judy’s infinite giving heart, this award is aimed at helping a student with financial need. “Yes, it’s nature’s time to sing, And make the whole world ‘round her ring. She’s happy now, At last, ‘tis Spring!” The bursary will be awarded to a student in any year of study in the Doctor of Medicine undergraduate degree program at Memorial University of Newfoundland. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for a bursary as defined by the University. The bursary will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean of Medicine’s Advisory Committee on Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards.
