Yvonne Allen Cancer Research Scholarship

The Yvonne Allen Cancer Research Scholarship is awarded to an academically outstanding graduate student in the Faculty of Science at the University of Victoria. The scholarship prioritizes students in the following order: (1) a student doing research on colo-rectal cancer; (2) a student studying the causes of cancer; and (3) a student doing research into cancer treatment. The award provides $1,500 to support graduate student research in cancer-related fields. Recipients must normally maintain an A- average and meet any additional donor-established criteria. Awards are assigned based on nominations from eligible academic units, and approval of recipients is made by the Faculty of Graduate Studies Graduate Awards Committee on the recommendation of the Dean of the Faculty of Science. Unless otherwise noted, students must be enrolled full-time in a graduate program. To retain ongoing UVic graduate funding, students are required to maintain a minimum level of academic standing and meet ongoing maintenance requirements. Prospective applicants should inquire with their department regarding specific application deadlines, as these vary by academic unit.
