About this scholarship
Domestic UBC graduate students who demonstrate commitment to supporting people with developmental disabilities through research, courses selected, past or current employment, and/or volunteering may be considered through the Spring Graduate Awards competition.
Awards are endowed from a fund held at the Vancouver Foundation; amounts vary.
The awards are made on the recommendation of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. There is no separate application.
The Syd Vernon Foundation fund honours Sydney Edward Vernon, founder of Auto Marine Electric Ltd and a pioneer of the automotive aftermarket parts industry in Canada.
