Leida Finlayson, former General Manager of the Newfoundland Historic Trust, battled cancer until slipping peacefully away in the presence of her family Saturday afternoon, July 19, 2003 in St. John's. She was 31 years old. 

In memory of her life, her spirit, and her contribution to the Newfoundland Historic Trust, the Trust and the Finlayson family are proud to establish the Leida Finlayson Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship, which will be directed to a student of history or political studies, will be presented annually as part of the Trust's Southcott Awards and St. John's Day Celebrations.

Charitable donations to the Leida Finlayson Memorial Scholarship (to be presented through Memorial University) can be made payable to the Newfoundland Historic Trust. More information on the scholarship can be found here.
