Sumaila-Volvo Graduate Prize in Environmental Sustainability

Open to UBC Vancouver Master's or Ph.D. students whose peer-reviewed publications to date are expected to have significant impact on environmental sustainability. The prize alternates each year between a master's and a doctoral student. Preference is given to students supervised by faculty affiliated with the Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries, the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability, or the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs.

The prize is $5,800 from an endowment established by Dr. Rashid Sumaila upon being named the 2017 Volvo Environment Prize laureate.

Recipients are selected on the recommendation of the Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries in consultation with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. There is no separate student application.
