Fry Family Foundation Dr. Philip Warren Exceptional Achievement Award

The Fry Family Foundation Dr. Philip Warren Exceptional Achievement Award is part of the Fry Family Foundation Awards program, created to recognize and encourage tomorrow's great leaders. The Fry Family Foundation was founded by Darryl and Marlene Fry, alumni of Memorial University who have a passion for both the university and the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The Foundation helps build stronger communities by investing in the development of young talent, as well as supporting health, social causes, nature and the arts. Valued at $5,000 each, up to four new Awards are granted annually to students graduating from a Newfoundland and Labrador high school or equivalent, who are living in the area served by one of the five St. John's Community Centres (Buckmaster's Circle, MacMorran, Froude Avenue, Rabbittown, and Virginia Park). An application is required. Eligible students must demonstrate financial need and selection is based on academic achievement. The applicant must plan to enroll in first year studies at any campus of Memorial University of Newfoundland or the Marine Institute. This Award is renewable for up to four years (five years total), depending on the duration of the student's program, provided the recipient maintains clear academic standing and continues as a full-time undergraduate student at Memorial University or Marine Institute. The Awards are administered by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards for Memorial University students, and by the Marine Institute Scholarships Office for Marine Institute students.
