Granted to a student entering the DVM program at the Atlantic Veterinary College. The successful candidate must be a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident of Canada who is normally resident in Atlantic Canada, have a demonstrated financial need, and have a strong academic record in their previous degree. Preference will be given to students who have been involved in extracurricular activities (i.e., community participation, leadership qualities, and/or the performing arts), and have an interest in pursuing bovine, pathology, wildlife or aquatic veterinary medicine. This scholarship is renewable for a maximum of four years (including the entrance year). Each year, a new entrance student will be selected. The Walker Wood Foundation was established in 2006 by Neil C.W. Wood and his wife Susan following the sale of some of their corporate assets. The Foundation is dedicated to the funding of post-secondary education to candidates who have a high academic standing, demonstrated leadership or similar qualities and whom might have otherwise found it difficult to afford further education. In the fall of 2022, the University of Prince Edward Island was honoured to have this scholarship for a student at its Atlantic Veterinary College, and in 2023, the Foundation decided to increase its support beginning in academic 2024, eventually supporting four students throughout their veterinary education.

The UPEI Tersteeg Music Scholarship is awarded to a full-time student in the third year of the Bachelor of Music Program at the University of Prince Edward Island. The scholarship recognizes academic achievement, performance standards achieved in the second semester of the student's second year, and extracurricular activities within the University and the community at large. Preference is given to students whose major applied area is an orchestral/band instrument or other area at the discretion of the Music Department. This scholarship was established in 1992, upon the retirement of Professor Hubert (Bert) Tersteeg from the faculty of the Department of Music at the University of Prince Edward Island. Through donations to this scholarship, colleagues, students, and friends expressed their appreciation of Professor Tersteeg's many years of dedicated service to St. Dunstan's University and to the University of Prince Edward Island.

The UPEI Student Union Campus Leadership Award is granted to a returning UPEI student in any level of full-time study who has demonstrated extraordinary involvement in extracurricular activities across campus, within UPEI student societies, and through athletics and/or other events. Academic achievement will not be a defining factor in the selection process. This award recognizes students who have been active members of the campus community while enhancing their own and others' experience at UPEI. The UPEI Student Union was founded in 1970 as a not-for-profit organization representing full-time students at UPEI, dedicated to fostering pride in the university, the betterment of university life, and enhancing the student experience. Employees and elected officials of the UPEI Student Union do not qualify for this award.
