Scholarships & Prizes

PRIZES AND GENERAL SCHOLARSHIPS

Prizes and other scholarships are awarded by the College at the annual Convocation for Degrees in May, on the recommendation of the Faculty of Divinity’s Committee of the Teaching Staff. The awards recognize highest academic achievement in a course, discipline or academic year. To be eligible for a discipline prize, the student will have taken more than the required number of courses in a department. For year prizes, students may not have any courses standing deferred, and will have participated in the life of the community.
