About this scholarship
Undergraduate students at UBC Vancouver in Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice programs who need financial assistance to complete their education and are from communities that have been historically, persistently and systemically marginalized are eligible for these awards. Preference is given to women who are First Nations, Inuit, or Metis students of Canada, or who identify as Black, Asian, or as a Person of Colour, 2SLGBTQIA, or those with disabilities. The awards, totalling $4,050, are made on the recommendation of the Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice, so no application is required. The endowment was established by Dr. Joy Masuhara (B.Sc. (Pharm.) 1980, M.D. 1991), a physician who created the award to honour her ancestors, early settler immigrants to B.C., and to help remove barriers for future generations of students.
