Harold L. Wareham Memorial Bursary in Business
This bursary was established through generous donations from family, friends and colleagues in memory of Harold L. Wareham (B.Comm.’57). Harold was born in Harbour Buffet, NL and was a graduate of Memorial University of Newfoundland’s inaugural commerce class of 1957. A successful venture capitalist and entrepreneur who supported and invested in the economy of Newfoundland, he was highly respected as a leader, mentor and visionary. Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, the bursary will be awarded annually to a full-time undergraduate or graduate student in any program of study in the Faculty of Business Administration. The recipient must have graduated from a high school in Newfoundland and Labrador and must meet the minimum academic requirements for a bursary as defined by Memorial University. This bursary will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards in the case of an undergraduate recipient, or the Associate Vice-President (Academic) and Dean, Graduate Studies in the case of a graduate recipient, both on the recommendation of the Dean, Faculty of Business Administration.

Lillian Grandy (Wells) Business/Entrepreneurship Award
This award has been established by Kent and H. Joan Decker (Grandy) in loving memory of Mrs. Lillian Grandy who, with only elementary education and no formal training, helped support her family through her entrepreneurial spirit and hard work. During the early years of her marriage when her children were young, Lillian provided seamstress services to the local community from her home. In 1988 she completed her first formal training in Basic Sewing through the Continuing Education Program, Department of Education. Over the years she completed many continuing education programs and was subsequently employed as an Instructor to deliver programs on behalf of the Department. Later she established her textiles and craft business, Lillian’s Fabrics, which she operated until her passing at a much too young age. Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, the award will be granted to a full-time female undergraduate student enrolled in Business 5600 (New Venture Creation) in the scholarship year. The student must meet the minimum academic requirements for an award as defined by Memorial University of Newfoundland and have graduated from a high school in rural Newfoundland and Labrador. It will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards upon the recommendation of the Dean, Faculty of Business Administration.
