The Betty G. Headley Senior Essay Award was established in memory of St. Jerome’s University graduate Sara Elizabeth “Sally” Headley's (BA ‘04 - English Language and Literature) mother. The annual award honours essays written by upper year undergraduate students, which are distinguished by their eloquence, originality, and persuasive power. The financial awards for a course-related essay ($1,500) and a personal essay ($500) are presented each year at St. Jerome's University's Graduation Ceremony.
