This bursary was established by a generous donation to Memorial University of Newfoundland from Ms. Constance Howlett B.Sc. ’89 to encourage and support women in leadership in science, technology, engineering and math.

Ellen raised her daughters to be smart and independent women, a culture supported by both Constance’s mother and father, who both believed strongly in gender equality. Constance was a product of that lineage and family culture, where generosity and giving back were also expected, and education was considered the foundation of independence.
