UPEI Women's Group Entrance Scholarship

The UPEI Women's Group Entrance Scholarship is awarded to a student entering their first year at the University of Prince Edward Island, based on financial need. The UPEI Women's group formed in 1971 as a social and support group for the then new University of Prince Edward Island. The group identified the need for greater public promotion of the University and a need to augment existing scholarship funds. Thus began a series of campus tours for various Island Women's organizations and the highly successful annual scholarship fund fairs. By the end of 1984, 'Dollars for Scholars' had raised close to $40,000 for UPEI Women's Group scholarships and bursaries. This entrance scholarship continues the legacy of supporting students with financial need as they begin their academic journey at UPEI.
