For many students, financial barriers can stand in the way of their education. Student awards provide the support they need to focus on their studies, achieve their goals, and build a brighter future.

Your generosity makes these opportunities possible—helping to establish and sustain the awards that change lives.

Creating meaningful student awards together

We work closely with donors and internal stakeholders—including Student Accounts and Financial Aid, Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs, and relevant academic departments—to ensure award criteria align with both donor priorities and student needs. This collaboration helps maximize the impact of each award.

• Scholarships recognize academic excellence and are awarded based on donor-defined criteria that support student achievement. They are recorded on a student’s academic record.
• Bursaries provide essential financial support to students in need and are awarded based on demonstrated financial need. They are not recorded on a student’s academic record.

By working together, we ensure that each award makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.

A minimum donation of $25,000 is required to establish a named Endowed Award. This can be given as a one-time gift or pledged over up to five years. Currently, awards are distributed at a rate of 4%, ensuring long-term support for students while considering investment performance and economic conditions.
