Elizabeth Spencer Memorial Scholarship
The Elizabeth (Betty) Spencer Scholarship was established in 2001 to
remember Betty Spencer who served Girl Guides of Canada-Guides du Canada
faithfully for many years. At the time of her passing, Betty Spencer
was the Provincial International Director and had demonstrated her
enthusiasm for and dedication to post-secondary learning by Guiding
members. The purpose of this scholarship is to encourage and assist with
such further education and training for active members of the
Newfoundland and Labrador Girl Guides in a recognized post-secondary
Canadian institution.
The Elizabeth (Betty) Spencer Memorial Scholarship is provided annually
to a registered member of Guiding in Newfoundland and Labrador, who
meets all the requirements for a Girl Guides of Canada Scholarship, and
who is the highest ranking non-recipient of a GGC Scholarship from
Newfoundland and Labrador in the year of her application. The amount of
the Scholarship to be awarded is determined annually by the Provincial
Council.
There is no separate application for the Betty Spencer Scholarship.
Applicants complete the GGC Scholarship Application, and enclose with it
a photocopy of the previous year's final marks, a photocopy of current
year's grades, a reference from inside Guiding and a reference from
outside Guiding. Once the selections for the GGC Scholarships are made
by the National Scholarship Committee, the Committee will then advise
the Provincial Council of the next highest-ranking non-recipient of a
GGC Scholarship from Newfoundland and Labrador. The recipient will be
confirmed by the Provincial Council and notified by the Provincial
Commissioner. The recipient is expected to provide confirmation of
acceptance at a Canadian educational institution, a photo for
publication, and a written acknowledgement by October 31 of the value of
the scholarship to her.
