Marguerite Jobe Maloney Award in Applied Human Sciences

The Marguerite Jobe Maloney Award in Applied Human Sciences is a bursary awarded to a returning UPEI student who has a declared Major in Foods and Nutritional Science, and who is pursuing their education in the face of such obstacles as physical, financial, family, or social problems. The award honors Marguerite Jobe Maloney, born in 1917 in Glace Bay, Cape Breton, who exemplified a life-long love of learning despite not having the opportunity to attend university herself. After completing secretarial studies at Mount St. Bernard College, she maintained a high level of curiosity throughout her life on subjects ranging from history to geography, from haute cuisine to spirituality. The beneficiary of this award is encouraged to emulate her example of continuous intellectual curiosity and dedication to learning despite obstacles.
