Ronald Jobe Children’s Literature Scholarship

For students enrolled in the Master of Arts in Children's Literature program at UBC Vancouver who have completed at least 12 credits. Open to domestic and international students.

Scholarships totalling $6,000 are shared by one or two recipients, based on academic achievement in children's and young adult literature courses and contributions to the authorship, scholarship, promotion and dissemination of literature for children.

The scholarship honours Dr. Ronald Jobe, Professor Emeritus in Language and Literacy Education, who established Children's Literature Roundtables across Canada and was the first non-European President of the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY).
