Stewart Memorial Healthcare Auxiliary is offering two
$500 Dr. Joyce Madigane Memorial Scholarships to students from the area
previously served by Stewart Memorial Hospital who are furthering their careers
in a health-related field. They must currently be enrolled in at least the
second year of their program.
Dr. Joyce Madigane (1942-2014) was born in Zimbabwe
and received her medical training in South Africa and the United Kingdom. She was the first black female doctor from
her country. She came to Tyne Valley in
1974 and was both a family physician and the Medical Director of Stewart
Memorial Hospital. The scholarships are
given to honour Dr. Madigane’s tireless dedication to our community.
Interested students are required to submit in writing
their current program of study, volunteer experience, future career plans, how
this scholarship will assist them financially, and if they have received other
bursaries or scholarships.
The successful
students will receive notification of the award and the scholarships will be
presented during the Christmas holidays, at which time a media photo will be
taken. Interested students should submit their letter, including full mailing
address, email and phone number, to:
