Skinner Memorial Entrance Scholarship
This scholarship was established by a generous donation from the Estate of Edith and Robert Skinner. Robert Skinner (1920-2008) graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland in 1953 with a degree in Education and taught in various communities on the Northern Peninsula and in Corner Brook. Edith Skinner (1922-2010) worked as a nurse until the late 1960s when she and Robert operated a motel in Pasadena, and later continued with tourism through hunting and fishing camps in Labrador. One entrance scholarship will be awarded annually to an undergraduate student entering full-time studies at Memorial University of Newfoundland. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for a scholarship as defined by the University, and must have graduated from a high school in western Newfoundland or Labrador (that is west of Grand Falls but including Labrador). Preference will be given to a student with demonstrated financial need. This scholarship will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards.
