David Hunter Jorgensen Memorial Award

Full-time or part-time Master's or doctoral students at York University who have a disability may apply. Financial need is considered. The awards committee looks for a meaningful connection to critical disability theory and equity, including research, scholarly, or creative work impact and knowledge or lived experience as a graduate student living with a disability.

One award of up to $5,000 is available (subject to change). The award is non-renewable.

Apply through the Financial Aid, Awards and Scholarships (FAAS) system and complete the online Student Financial Profile. Submit a research proposal, personal statement, supporting documents, and a substantive recommendation from a referee.

Established by the family of David Hunter Jorgensen, a graduate of York's Master's program in English and a member of the doctoral program.
