About This Opportunity
The Austin A. Scales Scholarships are awarded to students from rural Prince Edward Island, one from each county, based on financial need and achievement in the first year of a university program. Available to second-year students only. The scholarships were established through a bequest in the Will of Austin Scales, a Maritime entrepreneur who was a pioneering business leader in agriculture, electric power generation, and the silver fox industry. Born in 1886 on a modest farm in St. Eleanor's, PEI, Austin Scales went on to become a recognized Canadian business leader, serving as Director of the Bank of Nova Scotia and past Chairman of Industrial Enterprises Inc. He also served as Chairman of the Board of Prince County Hospital and received an honorary doctorate degree from UPEI in 1972. Mr. Scales died in 1989, leaving a bequest to establish these scholarships in perpetuity.
