Scholarships & Financial Assistance

With education costs on the rise, enhancing student assistance is a top priority for Acadia. Each year, we award more than $4 million to students in the form of scholarships, scholar-bursaries, bursaries, awards, and prizes. By maintaining a strong scholarship and financial assistance program, we are able to attract, retain and support our students.

As a donor to scholarships and financial assistance, you can direct your gift toward: general award funds or awards for specific departments, faculties, research, or athletic teams; any existing named awards; or you can create a personal legacy by establishing a named award yourself. By supporting scholarships and financial assistance, you can help to ensure access to all of the rewards of an Acadia education.

Gloria Fulton Memorial Award

TypeAward
Other eligibility criteriaEntering first year

The Gloria Fulton Memorial Award will be awarded annually to an Acadia student with a physical disability, with preference given to an entering student from Nova Scotia.

This Award was established in 2009 by Gloria's cousin, Chesley Fulton and his wife Betty, with assistance from family members and close friends, chiefly her life-long best buddy Beatrice Crawford and her husband Purdy, both former Nova Scotia residents. Gloria was born and raised on Portapique Mountain, Nova Scotia, moving to Massachusetts in her late teens to live with family there. She lived all of her eighty years with Cerebral Palsy, independently in a wheel chair for most of it, remaining cheerful and uplifting throughout, an inspiration to all who knew her. She travelled frequently to visit family and friends in Nova Scotia and Ontario. She was active in promoting the rights of the handicapped in her home area, and wherever she travelled.
