Eva and Herschel Gora Bursary
This renewable bursary, valued at $4,000 annually, was established in honour of Eva and Herschel (Harry) Gora. Eva and Harry were World War II Holocaust survivors who held a deep belief in the value of higher education. The bursary will be awarded to a full time student of Indigenous heritage who is enrolled in either the Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Nursing, School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Science, or School of Social Work at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Students can demonstrate their Indigenous heritage through provision of a membership card or demonstrate that they are part of their Indigenous community by providing a letter from a community leader or Elder in their Indigenous community. Eligible students must meet the minimum academic requirements for a bursary as defined by the University. This bursary is renewable for an additional three years, four years in total, provided the successful candidate continues to maintain the academic requirements for a bursary. It will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries, and Awards. An application is required and is available at the Scholarships and Awards Office website.

Grateful Patient Bursary in Pharmacy
This bursary was established by a gift from an anonymous donor who wanted to support the education of students in the School of Pharmacy at Memorial University of Newfoundland in recognition and gratitude for the health care he received during a difficult time in his life.  Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, the bursary will be granted annually to a student in the undergraduate pharmacy degree program. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for a bursary as defined by the University. Preference will be given to students who are not already in receipt of another scholarship, bursary or award administered by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards at the time of the granting of this bursary. It is the donor’s hope that the recipients, at such time when they are financially able, will contribute back to the Grateful Patient Bursary in Pharmacy to enable the fund to grow and assist more students. This bursary will be granted by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries, and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean, School of Pharmacy.
