The awards are part of the United Nations HeForShe initiative aimed at creating a bold, visible and united force for gender equity.

Offered along with the Guelph Chamber of Commerce, the HeForShe Impact Award recognizes gender equity initiatives of a local business that lead to improvements within the organization and the community. The recipient will have a $2,500 donation made in its name to the Guelph-Wellington Women in Crisis Centre.

Available to undergraduate students at U of G, the HeForShe Ally Scholarship ($2,500) recognizes an individual who has demonstrated a commitment to supporting gender equity.

Now in their third year, two HeForShe Resilience Scholarships ($5,000 each) are available to women in commerce and engineering undergrad programs at U of G. The scholarships aim to recognize the resilience and leadership of women students.
