UPEI Student Adversity Award

The UPEI Student Adversity Award is granted to returning UPEI students who have experienced unexpected hardship in the past year that has greatly impacted their personal circumstances and capacity to continue their studies. Examples of unexpected hardship may include economic, financial, political, societal, family or personal events beyond the student's control. Eligible students must be in good academic standing based on their most recent academic year and be registered in full-time studies. All student information provided in applications will remain strictly confidential and recipients will not be publicized or promoted in any manner. The University of Prince Edward Island initiated the UPEI Student Adversity Awards in 2018 to support UPEI students facing unexpected hardship during their studies.
