CCMPS Diversity Scholarship [I1463]

Established by the College of Computational, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, this award honours students who champion indigenization, equity, diversity, and inclusion at the University of Guelph and beyond. Apply by October 1 to the College of Computational, Mathematical and Physical Sciences Awards Committee at cepsawards@uoguelph.ca. Your application should include: one page indigenization, equity, diversity, and inclusion (IEDI) statement describing the contributions made to create and foster equitable and inclusive interactions and spaces at the University of Guelph or broader community. It may speak directly to lived experience as a member of equity-seeking group(s), experience as an ally or advocate, or both, and one reference letter. Selection will be based on demonstrated initiative and leadership promoting advocacy for indigenization, equity, diversity, and inclusion in the community through positions held (volunteer, extracurricular or employment). This includes creating learning and working environments that are safe, positive, respectful, diverse, and inclusive and recognizing and celebrating the range of equity-seeking (equity-deserving) groups that comprise the community. Students may hold this award only once. This scholarship cannot be held with the CCMPS Leadership Scholarship.

Students registered in any program offered by the College of Computational, Mathematical and Physical Sciences who have completed a minimum of 4.00 credits and who have participated in activities promoting advocacy for indigenization, equity, diversity, and inclusion. Preference will be given to students who have made contributions to the University of Guelph community.
