An award, valued at $10,000, will be provided to a full-time undergraduate student enrolled in Year One of any program in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences in the Faculty of Science. Selection will be based on a combination of academic excellence (minimum admission average of 80%) and skills gained outside of academics, e.g., demonstrated leadership in community support and/or extra-curricular activities. Preference will be given to students who have overcome personal challenges on their road to post-secondary education. Interested students must apply by October 15. This award was established through the support of alumni and friends to honour Professor Shaun Frape and his belief that life skills, individual experiences, and perseverance are critical to one’s success.
