CEPS Diversity Scholarship [I1258]

Established by the College of Engineering & Physical Sciences to recognize the students who are advocating for equity, diversity and inclusion in the community. Apply by September 30 to the College of Engineering & Physical Sciences Awards Committee cepsawards@uoguelph.ca with a one-page equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) statement and one supporting reference letter. The EDI statement should describe the contributions made to create and foster equitable and inclusive interactions and spaces at the University of Guelph or broader community. It may speak directly to lived experience as a member of equity-seeking group(s), experience as an ally or advocate, or both. Selection will be based on demonstrated initiative and leadership to promote advocacy for equity, diversity and inclusion in the community through positions held (volunteer, extracurricular or employment). This includes creating learning and working environments that are safe, positive, respectful, diverse, and inclusive; recognizing and celebrating the range of equity-seeking (equity-deserving) groups that comprise the community.

Students registered in any program offered by the College of Engineering & Physical Sciences who have completed a minimum of 4.00 credits and who have participated in activities that promote advocacy for equity, diversity and inclusion. Preference will be given to students who have made contributions to the University of Guelph community. Students may hold this award only once. This award cannot be held with the CEPS Leadership Scholarship.
