Sinclair Farris Award

The Sinclair Farris Award provides one or more awards of at least $400 to undergraduate or graduate students in the Department of Biology for interest and achievement of excellence in the field of microtechnique. The award was established to recognize Sinclair Farris who worked with the Canadian Forestry Service (Environment Canada) for 38 years, specializing in microtechnique. Approval is made by the Senate Committee on Awards upon the recommendation of the Department of Biology in the case of an undergraduate student and by the Faculty of Graduate Studies Graduate Awards Committee in the case of a graduate student. No application is required as awards are assigned based on nominations from eligible academic units. The minimum requirement for consideration is normally an A- average and any additional criteria established by the donor.
