Mary Edna (Sinnott) Murphy Memorial Scholarship

The Mary Edna (Sinnott) Murphy Memorial Scholarship is granted to a full-time returning student in the four-year BSc Nursing program or a full-time second year student in the Accelerated BSc Nursing program who demonstrates a focus and compassion for family nursing. Dr. Norma Jean Murphy (deceased August 2018), generous UPEI donor and former student, has endowed this scholarship in her will, recognizing service and leadership to express gratitude for her years at UPEI, her dedication to her profession, and her commitment to lifelong learning. This endowed scholarship is part of her legacy in memory of her parents, Cletus and Edna, whose presence continues to be felt even in their absence. It is hoped that the generous spirit of all three individuals will live on in perpetuity through this scholarship and two others that have been created through Norma Jean's estate.
