Student Award in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

An award, in the amount of $4,000, will be given annually to a woman university or college student who advances equity, diversity and inclusion within and/or outside their institution through outstanding dedication and excellence or community outreach and activism. Students should demonstrate an exceptional commitment to and engagement with a particular issue of social justice, community, and/or community organization. Such community activism can take place on or off campus. The award is offered by Senior Women Academic Administrators of Canada (SWAAC) and rotates annually among different regions of Canada. SWAAC is committed to prioritizing equity in this application process and especially encourages applications from students who identify as LGBTQ+, racialized, Indigenous and/or students with disabilities.
