Keith Burt Entrepreneurial Award for International Students
This award was established by Paul and Marie Burt in memory of Keith Burt, who started the first Paint Shop franchise in Newfoundland and Labrador, opened on Topsail Road in 1975. Keith was a true entrepreneur. Despite having a young family and no safety net, he quit his job as an Office Manager to pursue his dream of becoming self-employed. Although he passed away suddenly in 1987, Keith’s early contributions helped build the foundation of this successful, Newfoundland-based business. Valued at $500 annually, the award will be granted to an international student who has been accepted for an entrepreneurial work term/internship through the Memorial Centre for Entrepreneurship (MCE).
