Rotary Club of Charlottetown Foundation Doris Bradley Awards

Beginning in the fall of 2020, the Rotary Club of Charlottetown Foundation Doris Bradley Awards will be granted to two students with a documented disability who has overcome barriers in their educational pursuits and has demonstrated leadership or volunteerism/community service. If there is only one qualifying recipient, the student will receive $2,000, the full value of both awards. The Rotary Club of Charlottetown was founded in 1917 and has a proud history of serving the residents of PEI. For many years, the Club has supported various awards at UPEI. In 2016, the Club renewed its commitment by supporting students with disabilities. Students with disabilities are applying to universities at unprecedented rates, with 433 students registered at UPEI for accessibility supports in 2016 compared to 126 in 2009. These awards assist students with disabilities with financial burdens and build confidence and pride critical to their overall success.
