Sisters of St. Martha of PEI Arts Prize

The Sisters of St. Martha of PEI Arts Prize is awarded to the student standing highest in second-year Arts at the University of Prince Edward Island. This prize recognizes academic excellence and is part of the Congregation's commitment to education and higher learning in Prince Edward Island. The Congregation was founded in 1916 by Bishop Henry J. O'Leary with a vision to initiate works of charity for spiritual and social development in the Diocese of Charlottetown. Sister Ellen Mary Cullen, the first Congregational Leader, continued to advance this vision of God's call to holiness in Apostolic service. The Sisters of St. Martha have contributed numerous student awards to UPEI, demonstrating their deep-rooted history with education and higher education in Prince Edward Island.

Prince of Wales College Scholarship

The Prince of Wales College Scholarship is awarded to the student entering UPEI from a PEI high school who has been judged by the Scholarship Committee to best exemplify PWC's tradition of excellence. This prestigious scholarship recognizes students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and embody the values that Prince of Wales College has represented since 1804. In order for the scholarship to be renewed, the student must maintain a minimum average in a full course load (30 semester hours) of 75% after first year, and 80% after second and third year. The scholarship honors the legacy of Prince of Wales College, which dates back to 1804 when Edmund Fanning, the Island's second Lieutenant-Governor, granted land for the purpose of laying the foundation of a College for the education of youth in the learned languages, the arts and sciences, and all the branches of useful and polite literature.
