B. Lowell Langille Scholarship in Creative Writing

Outstanding UBC Vancouver graduate students in the School of Creative Writing may be considered for this scholarship.

The award amount varies. Scholarships are funded through an endowment established by Dr. S. Lee Adamson in memory of her husband and Ellen R.A. Langille in memory of her father, Dr. B. Lowell Langille (1947-2008).

Recipients are recommended by the School of Creative Writing in consultation with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. There is no separate student application.

Lowell (B.Sc. 1969, M.Sc. 1970, Ph.D. 1975) was a world-renowned cell biologist and physiologist who contributed extensively to vascular biology and the study of atherosclerosis. He was a skilled mentor in scientific writing and an avid reader of poetry and literature who wished to support and encourage students in the arts.
