Two awards, valued at up to $20,000 paid over eight academic terms, will be provided to Black undergraduate students entering Year One of any full-time degree program in the Faculty of Arts. Selection will be based on a combination of academic achievement and community involvement through extracurricular and/or volunteer activities. Preference will be given to students who best demonstrate what receiving this award would mean to their pursuit of post-secondary studies. To be considered, students must submit an online award application by April 15. Recipients will receive $2,500 per academic term for up to eight terms (1A-4B). Payments beyond Year One are dependent on maintaining a minimum overall average of 70% and full-time enrolment in the Faculty of Arts.
