Hettie (Pelley) Hardy RN and Eric Hardy Entrance Award
This award was established by the friends and family of Hettie and Eric Hardy. Passionate about their family and about education, Hettie and Eric were guardians of the heritage of outport living and believed strongly in the importance of community. Hettie was a member of the Salvation Army Grace Hospital School of Nursing Class of 1953 whose career included St. John’s Sanatorium for TB, seniors care, obstetrics and volunteer for International Grenfell Association. Eric was an early technology pioneer who worked with wireless communication from his Marconi Company office on Signal Hill and other air and marine stations throughout Newfoundland and Labrador. Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, this award will be granted annually on a rotating basis between the Faculty of Nursing and the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science to an undergraduate student entering the University from high school. The Nursing award will be granted to a student in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Collaborative) program who is from a rural community in Newfoundland and Labrador. In cases where more than one suitable candidate is identified, special consideration will be given to those with demonstrated record of community service in their rural community. The Engineering award will be granted to a student entering the undergraduate program from a rural community, with preference to a student from Labrador. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for an award. This award will be granted by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean, Faculty of Nursing or the Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.
Hebron Diversity Award
This award was created from a generous contribution from the Hebron Project. The Hebron Project co-venturers are ExxonMobil Canada Properties (operator), Chevron Canada, Suncor Energy, Statoil Canada and Nalcor Energy. Awards will be available to full-time or part-time students, enrolled at any campus of Memorial University of Newfoundland, who have indigenous status, a disability, or who represent a visible minority. Students with a disability should provide supporting documentation (from a medical doctor, psychologist, audiologist, rehabilitation counselor, or other professional who has specific training, expertise, and experience in the diagnosis of this condition). Students will claim indigenous and visible minority status through self-identification. Of those eligible students, further preference will be given to students who are majoring in engineering, the geosciences, environmental science or chemistry. Normally, at least one award will be granted in each designated area and where possible, at least one award will be granted to a student in his/her first year of study. For students at the St. John’s or Grenfell Campus the awards will be granted by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards upon the recommendation of the appropriate Department Head. For students at Marine Institute, the awards will be granted by the Marine Institute Scholarship Committee on the recommendation of the appropriate Department Head.
