Edythe Hembroff-Schleicher Scholarships

The Edythe Hembroff-Schleicher Scholarships provide support for undergraduate or graduate female students registered in pre-medicine disciplines such as biochemistry/microbiology, biology or chemistry who show exceptional promise and who show firm intention to continue on to medical school. Approval of the graduate recipients is made by the Faculty of Graduate Studies, Graduate Awards Committee upon the recommendation of the appropriate departments. Awards are assigned based on nominations from eligible academic units. The minimum requirement for consideration is normally an A- average and any additional criteria that has been established by the donor. Recipients must be full-time graduate students unless otherwise noted. Ongoing UVic graduate funding requires students to maintain a minimum level of academic standing and some ongoing maintenance.
