Betty Jeffery benefited from scholarship and award support for both her undergraduate and graduate studies. She served UPEI as an academic librarian for 17 years.  The University conferred the title of Librarian Emerita on her in 2017.  UPEI is grateful to Betty for establishing an award that will be granted to a student entering their third or fourth year of study who has expressed an interest in graduate studies in the fields of Library and Information Sciences, Archival Studies, or History.
