Ken Reynolds Scholarship in Beothuk Archaeology
This scholarship was established by a generous donation from the friends and family of Mr. Ken Reynolds. Ken spent over three decades of his archaeological career investigating Beothuk sites throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.

This scholarship will be awarded annually to a full time graduate or undergraduate honours student in the department of Archaeology whose primary area of study is the Beothuk. If a suitable candidate cannot be found, secondary preference will be given to a student engaged in the study of any of Newfoundland and Labrador’s indigenous peoples. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for a scholarship as defined by Memorial University of Newfoundland. This scholarship will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards or the Dean, School of Graduate Studies on the recommendation of the Dean, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.
