Up to two scholarships, valued at up to $10,000 each, are awarded annually to outstanding undergraduate students in the Faculty of Arts who intend to pursue the Human Rights minor and enroll in HRTS 101 during their first term. Selections will be based on academic excellence (minimum admission average of 85%) and a statement outlining their interest and commitment to human rights. Recipients will receive a $7,000 residence credit at United College (split between 1A and 1B) during their first year. In Years Two, Three, and Four students will be eligible to receive $1,000 per year provided they remain in good academic standing in the Human Rights minor and demonstrate leadership in the United College community. This scholarship was created in honour of Lloyd Axworthy, the first chancellor of United College (previously St. Paul’s University College).
