Russell S. Ramsay Memorial Trust Scholarship

Awarded to a graduating student from Westisle Composite High who is entering the first year of the Bachelor of Nursing program or the Bachelor of Business Administration program at UPEI. The recipient will be the student with the highest academic standing entering either of the above programs. The recipient should also show a concern and compassion for the welfare of others. Russell S. Ramsay was born and raised in Rosebank, PEI, where he operated the family farm and a trucking business. During W.W. II he became a Life Underwriter for the Canada Life Assurance Co. In his first year, he was recognized as the best salesman for the entire company (including Canada, U.S. and the British Isles). This annual scholarship was made possible through a gift in his memory by his widow, Cordelia Ramsay-Butler (deceased 1996).
