Erwin & Joyce Andrew Memorial Scholarship (International Island)

The Erwin & Joyce Andrew Memorial Scholarship (International Island) is awarded to a student undertaking thesis research that proposes to focus on, singly or comparatively, one or more islands that are not in Canada. Students are eligible for these scholarships if they have completed at least three (3) of the core MAIS courses, and are not a full time UPEI employee or in receipt of any other major donor funded scholarship at the time of application. Preference will be given to students in the thesis-based Master of Arts, Island Studies program. These annual scholarships are established at the University of Prince Edward Island in honour and memory of Joyce M. (Hooper) Andrew and Erwin Andrew, by their son Bill Andrew and his wife, Denise. Joyce and Erwin resided in Milton, PEI and had three sons: Bill, Brian, and Rollin. Erwin Andrew was a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force, and following retirement in 1967, the Andrew family returned to Prince Edward Island where he became part of the horse breeding business for more than 50 years. Joyce (Hooper) Andrew was a teacher and aside from her hobbies of knitting, quilting, cooking, reading, playing bridge, skating, and snowshoeing, she was also very involved in community initiatives.
