The James R. Pearcey Scholarship for Entrepreneurism

The James R. Pearcey Scholarship for Entrepreneurism

This scholarship is the result of a generous donation by the donor, Mr. Wade. K. Dawe, Bachelor of Commerce'92. It is valued at $10,000.00 per annum and is established in memory of James R. Pearcey, a Civil Engineering graduate and former president of his 1993 class, at Memorial University of Newfoundland. The scholarship recipient will be a student in the Faculty of Business Administration in any academic year, in good academic standing and who shows clear evidence of a significant propensity toward entrepreneurial activities and study as assessed by an essay competition. The recipient will be selected by a faculty committee, the composition of which will be determined by the Scholarships Office, but will include representation by both the Faculty of Business Administration and the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. The Scholarship will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards based on the recommendation of this committee.
