Student Awards & Financial Aid

Alan Steven John Award in Visual Arts

Three renewable awards of $9,000 each per year are given to undergraduate students continuing or transferring into second or third year in the Department of Visual Arts with a minimum GPA of 4.0/9.0 and who:
- have demonstrated financial need
- are Canadian citizens, and
- graduated from a high school in BC.

Preference is for students with an interest in painting or sculpture and who are under 30 years of age when entering second year. A further preference is for at least one recipient to be a First Nations, Métis and/or Inuit student.

Approval of the recipients will be made by the Senate Committee on Awards upon the recommendation of the Department of Visual Arts.

To be automatically renewed a student must have completed a total of 12 or more academic units in any two terms of study between May and April and maintained a grade point average of 4.0/9.0 or higher on the best 12.0 units. The award is automatically renewed for each year of a student's full time study until the completion of a first degree or for a maximum of two years, whichever is the shorter period. A student whose grade point average falls below 4.0/9.0 may file a written appeal with the Senate Committee on Awards to seek special consideration for renewal of the award.

Students registered in a co-op or work experience work-term will automatically be renewed when they next complete 12.0 or more academic units in two terms, provided they have a grade point average of 4.0/9.0 or higher in the two terms. Any student who takes neither a co-op, work experience work-term, nor 80% of a full course load for more than one term may forfeit their award.

Applicants, candidates or nominees for this award who have indicated they are First Nations, Métis and/or Inuit are required to demonstrate their eligibility for Indigenous-specific awards in alignment with the Indigenous Citizenship Declaration (ICD) Policy (GV0810).
