Sheila Watson Prize in Modern British Literature

The Sheila Watson Prize in Modern British Literature is awarded to the undergraduate or convocating student who achieves the highest academic standing in the area of senior Modern British Literature, provided that the student's academic record is otherwise satisfactory. This prize was established through endowed funds by PD Clements and RJ Merrett with proceeds from 'Literature, Language and Culture' (Edmonton, 1977) and The University of Alberta Conference of Literacy in recognition of the service of Sheila Watson to the Department of English. The award is administered through the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta and students are automatically considered based on their completed General Application.
