Paddy and Rita Dobbin Scholarship in Business

Paddy and Rita Dobbin Scholarship in Business

The Paddy and Rita Dobbin Scholarship is endowed through a gift from the Dobbin family members (children and grandchildren) in memory of Paddy Dobbin and Rita Power who were married on March 17, 1929.

From his early life, Paddy demonstrated a strong entrepreneurial spirit, a man not afraid of hard work or taking risks. He instilled these qualities in his eleven children. Paddy guided with much love and a spirit that anything was possible.

Through example, he taught his children to never fear challenges, feeling there was always something to be learned. The scholarship is open to undergraduate students of scholarship standing, enrolled in the Faculty of Business Administration in the International Bachelor of Business Administration (i.B.B.A.) program, who have been accepted for, but not yet undertaken, the study abroad component of their program.

Preference will be given to students who have been active in extracurricular activities at Memorial University of Newfoundland and/or in the community. It will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean, Faculty of Business Administration.
