Women in Engineering Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship has been established to commemorate the sudden and tragic deaths of fourteen women at L'Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal on December 6, 1989. Thirteen of the women who died so violently were pursuing studies in engineering, historically a non- traditional field for women. It is hoped this annual $2,500.00 scholarship will encourage more women to study and work in this profession, thereby increasing the contribution of women to engineering and scientific endeavours. Funding support is provided by the Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science, C-CORE, Memorial University of Newfoundland Alumni Association and individual contributions. This award is tenable at Memorial University of Newfoundland to female students regardless of age, who are entering the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. To be eligible, applicants must demonstrate a commitment to the advancement of women in Engineering fields and an active involvement in wider issues of social concern to women, as well as sound scholastic ability. The committee may also consider applications from female students already enrolled in Engineering studies, provided they meet the eligibility criteria above. A special committee, consisting of representatives from the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, C- CORE, Memorial University of Newfoundland's Alumni Association, Gender Studies and Women in Science and Engineering meets annually to consider applications for this scholarship. The award will be made by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of this committee.
David Wright Memorial Scholarship in Engineering
This Scholarship was established by a generous donation from Allen and Marilyn Wright in memory of their son David Wright who sadly passed away in 2020. David was a proud graduate of Memorial University of Newfoundland’s Engineering Class of 1998 and passionately wore his Iron Ring. David took part in some of the biggest engineering projects in Newfoundland and Labrador, and Canada. He spent work terms in Bull Arm working on the construction of the Hibernia project before starting his career in Calgary with Fleur-Daniels working in the Fort McMurry oil sands.  An offer from the Wood Group brought him back home to continue work on Hibernia as a senior mechanical engineer. Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, the Scholarship will be awarded annually to a student enrolled in any program of study in terms three (3) to eight (8) in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.  The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for scholarship standing as defined by Memorial University. This Scholarship will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.
Howell Zygocki Scholarship for Women in Engineering

This scholarship is valued at a portion of the income from the endowment and will be awarded annually. The recipient will be a second year female student in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. Preference will be given to a student who has demonstrated financial need. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for a scholarship as defined by the University. It will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards upon recommendation of the Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.
