One or more awards of $7,500 will be given to undergraduate students continuing at UVic who self-identify as Black and who have demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities and extracurricular activities that strengthen the student experience at UVic.
The Black Student Leadership Award is being offered for the first time to students continuing their studies at UVic in September 2025. In this inaugural year, students can nominate themselves or be nominated by a member of the campus community. For 2026/27 and beyond, students will apply for the award via the on-line In-Course Scholarship and Award application.
Successful recipients will be recommended by a selection committee comprised of representatives from Student Affairs and the UVic Scarborough Charter Steering Committee.
If you are a student and wish to nominate yourself for the award, please send a letter (maximum 300 words) outlining your contributions to the UVic community and your leadership qualities to Associate Registrar Zane Robison at zrobison@uvic.ca by July 31st.
