Edwin Darby and Margaret Bishop-Darby Scholarship

This scholarship is granted to a student entering the University of Prince Edward Island from a Prince County, PEI high school who is enrolled in the Environmental Studies program or the pre-veterinary medicine stream in the Faculty of Science, with preference given to a student who intends to pursue a career in large animal veterinary medicine. The recipient must not be in receipt of another donor funded scholarship or award greater than $5,000. The successful candidate must be in good academic standing in their last two years of high school and demonstrate through employment, volunteer work or their background a real interest in pursuing either Environmental Studies or veterinary medicine. If there are two equally qualifying candidates, the one in greatest financial need will prevail. This scholarship was established by the Darby family to honour the lives and legacies of Edwin and Margaret Darby, who were deeply committed to agriculture, community service, and animal health in Prince Edward Island.
