Chesley and Katherine Brown Bursary
This bursary, valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, has been established by the children of the late Lieutenant-Colonel and Mrs. William Chesley Brown. Lt.-Colonel Brown (1899-1962) guided the Salvation Army’s educational program for thirty-five years. For the final twelve years he served as the Superintendent of Education for the Salvation Army within the Department of Education. Mrs. Lt-Colonel Katherine England Brown (nee Cave; 1900-1977) taught at the Salvation Army Training College for Officers and was active in the Home and School Association of the Salvation Army College for a number of years. Candidates must be full time undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need and clear academic standing. The Bursary will be awarded to students in the Faculty of Education, with preference for those entering their first year. The bursary is renewable as long as the recipient remains in clear academic standing and continues as an undergraduate student in the Faculty of Education. The bursary will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean, Faculty of Education.
Bruton Scholarship Fund
Dr. F.A. Bruton, friend and colleague of J.L. Paton, taught Nature Study to teachers in three successive Memorial University College summer schools, from 1926-28, at Paton's request. At his death in 1930, Dr. Bruton made a bequest to the College from which two Bruton Scholarships are awarded. These scholarships, valued at $500.00 each, are awarded annually to students who have demonstrated interest in Plant Biology. One award will be available to a student majoring in Biology whose special interest is in the field of Plant Biology. The second award will be available to an Education student whose main area of interest is in the teaching of science, in particular, plant biology. In the absence of a suitable candidate from the one department, two awards may be made by the other department in accordance with the above conditions. Academic ability and financial need will be taken into consideration in making these awards. They will be made by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards acting on the advice of the department concerned.
Professor Jeffrey W. Bulcock Scholarship
This scholarship was established by friends and family of Professor Jeffrey W. Bulcock (1931-2012), a faculty member in Memorial University of Newfoundland’s Faculty of Education from 1971-1996. Before coming to St. John’s, Professor Bulcock taught in Britain and in other parts of Canada, and was a founding faculty member of Grand Prairie Junior College in Alberta. He is remembered at Memorial University for his teaching and thesis supervision, his support of the Faculty Association and its Academic Freedom and Grievance Committee, and the international recognition of his analysis of large-scale educational achievement data. Valued at $1,000 the scholarship will be awarded annually to a full-time student enrolled in any undergraduate degree program in the Faculty of Education leading to initial teacher certification at the primary, elementary or secondary level. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for a scholarship as defined by the university. The scholarship will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean, Faculty of Education.
