About this award

This scholarship is valued at approximately two semesters of tuition for five courses. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are the child or dependant of a teacher working in the public school system of Newfoundland and Labrador. Apply on Memorial's application-based scholarships page: applications for 2026-27 open in late September 2026 and close October 31, 2026. Successful applicants are contacted at their @mun.ca email. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Memorial University how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Memorial University during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed, though the source notes a student may be awarded the scholarship more than once. If you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Memorial University what you need to maintain to remain eligible.

Tips for applying

• Academic StandingAvoid assuming your current grades are automatically verified. Instead, ensure you have a clear record of your scholarship standing ready to share. Check your latest transcript to confirm you meet the required grade threshold.
• SupportAvoid submitting your application without checking for required signatures. Instead, confirm if you need a letter from your parent's school board to prove their employment in the public system. Contact the school's administration office to get this document early.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to find the form. Instead, visit Memorial's application-based scholarships page now — the application closes October 31, 2026. Fill it out in a draft document first to polish your answers.
• RealismAvoid relying on this as your only source of funding. Instead, look for other bursaries at Memorial University that match your profile. Remember that if no eligible candidate is found in a given year, the scholarship will not be awarded.
