Gabriel Dix Memorial Graduate Award in Health and Exercise Sciences

Graduate students in the School of Health and Exercise Sciences at UBC Okanagan may be considered for this memorial award. Preference is given to MSc students engaged in interdisciplinary work who demonstrate outstanding citizenship and a commitment to inclusion. Eligible students must not hold a major Tri-Agency funded award or other major scholarship.

Awards totalling $12,000 are available (payable at $6,000 per year) from an endowment established by friends and family in memory of Gabriel Dix (BHK '19, MSc '21), along with UBC matching funds. Subject to maintaining continued academic standing, recipients may have the award renewed for a second year of study. The School of Health and Exercise Sciences adjudicates the awards.

Gabriel was a much loved student who dedicated himself to learning so that he could help those in greatest need. His academic record, volunteerism, and leadership gave him the ability to connect with and inspire those around him.
