Johanna Houwen Memorial Award in Arts - Renewable

The Johanna Houwen Memorial Award in Arts is a renewable scholarship awarded annually to Canadian Citizens or Permanent Residents entering the second year of studies in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta. Recipients must have completed their first year at the University of Alberta, maintain satisfactory academic standing with a minimum GPA of 3.3, and be registered full-time. The award is provided by endowed funds from the family and friends of Johanna Houwen. Selection is based on academic standing with preference given to students with demonstrated financial need. This award provides significant support to students pursuing their undergraduate education in the Arts. The renewable nature of this award provides stability for students, as it can be renewed for two additional years (totaling three years of support) provided the recipient maintains satisfactory academic standing, demonstrates ongoing financial need, and continues studies in the Faculty of Arts.
