Incoming first-year students entering the Faculty of Arts at UBC Vancouver directly from high school who demonstrate an interest in social sciences and a commitment to community leadership or volunteering are eligible. Preference is given to students from British Columbia.

Awards totalling $2,800 come from an endowment established by friends, family, and the wider community in memory of Emily Selwood (2003-2021). Per-recipient amounts vary.

The Faculty of Arts recommends recipients. No separate application is required.
