UNB Saint John has recieved an unexpected donation of 1.1 million dollars. The bequest comes from the late Violet Woodroffe and has been used to establish five 40 thousand dollar scholarships. The Foley-Woodroffe Scholarships are open to high academic achievers entering the local campus.
Woodroffe, who lived to be 106, did not attend UNB--but--her cousin, Joan Alarie, says she was generally interested in young people furthering their education.
