Canadian Bar Association BC Branch Entrance Scholarship*
An award is given to a student entering UVic Faculty of Law who has best shown a strong commitment to the ideals served by the Canadian Bar Association, which include promotion of Justice and/or law reform, through exemplary public or community service, as demonstrated by extra-curricular activities at educational institutions, volunteer work with community or charitable organizations, or any kind of public service activities. Membership in the Canadian Bar Association is not a requirement for eligibility to receive this award; however, it may be a factor taken into account by the Selection Committee in choosing the successful candidate.
