Joanne Bath Rural Student Bursary
This bursary was established by Ms. Joanne Bath. Hailing from La Scie, NL, Joanne obtained a Bachelor of Social Work from Memorial University of Newfoundland. While working for a time in the social work field, Joanne was serendipitously introduced to fundraising, where she discovered a penchant for development relationship-building and ultimately, helping others. With a strong personal belief in the power of philanthropy, Joanne was moved to create this award so as to help others have the same opportunities that she has been afforded. Valued at $500.00 annually, the bursary will be awarded to a student in any year of study and faculty at Memorial University’s St. John’s Campus. First preference will be given to an undergraduate student from the town of La Scie, Newfoundland and Labrador. If there is no eligible student from La Scie, the candidate will have graduated from any rural high school in Newfoundland and Labrador. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for a bursary as defined by the University. The bursary will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries, and Awards.
