William and Margaret Morgan Memorial Award
This award was established by a generous donation from Ms. B. Ruth Butler in memory of her parents, William and Margaret Morgan. William and Margaret Morgan were proud Newfoundlanders whose families lived through the Tidal Waves of 1929 in the South Burin Peninsula. This resilient and hardworking family included fishermen, members of the Newfoundland Regiment and small business owners. Although her parents later moved away from their home on the Burin Peninsula, Ms. B. Ruth Butler wanted to honor their memory by offering these awards to students, who share the same roots as her parents, to help enhance their education and future. Two awards valued at $2,500 each will be granted to students who have graduated from a high school in Newfoundland and Labrador who are entering any undergraduate degree program of study at Memorial University of Newfoundland who have a minimum final admission average of 75%. First preference will be to students from Burin and St. Lawrence with further preference to a student who has graduated from Marystown Central High School and to a student who has graduated from St. Lawrence Academy. The award is renewable for one additional year provided the recipient maintains clear academic standing and continues as a fulltime undergraduate student at Memorial University. The award will be granted by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards.
