Scholarships & Awards

The David and Vivian Campbell Scholarship in Canadian Studies is awarded to an undergraduate student in the Canadian Studies program who demonstrates financial need. Minor, major or specialist students are equally eligible.

This award assists in covering the costs of living in the University College residences for one year for a worthy student in third or fourth year of his or her UC undergraduate program. Relevant criteria will be contributions to college life in UC, academic accomplishment and financial need as specified by the OSOTF program. As required by the OSOTF program, financial need will be the primary criterion. The recipient will be expected to live in the UC residence, show leadership in the community and act as a mentor for younger students. 

These awards have been established to recognize the importance of student volunteer and leadership contributions to University College. Eligible students must be registered and in good academic standing at University College and be involved in the UC community in unpaid leadership roles during the current academic session (other involvement at the University of Toronto or in the broader Toronto community may also be considered). In recognition of the fact that students who are involved in volunteer and leadership opportunities may not be able to earn as much income during the academic year, financial need will also be considered. Awards will vary in number and value. Both returning and graduating students will be considered.

These awards are to assist students living in a University College residence. Financial need may be considered.

Established in commemoration of Dr. James A. (UC 1913) and Connie P. Dickson, these awards are intended to recognize the best University College students with Grade A standing enrolled in science and mathematics programs. (These shall be the specialist and major programs designated in the calendar as leading to the Bachelor of Science degrees.)
