William G Black Memorial Prize

Full-time UBC Vancouver students who do not already hold a graduate degree are eligible for this prize, awarded for the best essay on Canadian citizenship. The prize is valued at $6,650. It is offered on a rotating basis on the recommendation of the departments of Sociology, History, and Political Science in the Faculty of Arts and the Peter A. Allard School of Law, with the recommendation process administered by the Office of the Dean in the Faculty of Arts; for graduate students the recommendation is made in consultation with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. The prize is funded through an endowment established by the late Dr. William G. Black, B.A. 1922, who retired from the University in 1963 after many years of service.
