M.C. Melburn Award

Two awards of $700 are given to graduate students in biology, with preference to students in botany who already hold a tri-agency award (CIHR, SSHRC, NSERC). If there are no eligible students who hold a tri-agency award, then a single scholarship of $1,400 may be awarded to a student in botany.

Eligibility

Normally, the minimum requirement for consideration is an A- average and any additional criteria that has been established by the donor. Awards are assigned based on nominations from eligible academic units. Unless otherwise noted in the award description, you must be a full-time graduate student. 

Retaining funding

Ongoing UVic graduate funding requires students to maintain a minimum level of academic standing and some ongoing maintenance.
