Award description:
One or more awards, valued at $1,500 or more, will be awarded annually to full-time undergraduate students enrolled in 1B or Year 2 of any program in any Faculty. Candidates must be in good academic standing with a minimum cumulative average of 70%. Selection will be based on the submission of an essay/statement describing personal challenges they have encountered on their road to post-secondary education and how they have overcome them. Preference will be given to students who are the first in their family to go to university or students who are dependents of enlisted Canadian Armed Services members. Interested students should submit an application by February 1. This fund is made possible by a donation from Linda Carson to expressly welcome students who may feel, for whatever reason, that they do not belong in post-secondary education.
