HHNS Scholarship for Academic Excellence [I1368]

This scholarship was originally established through a gift from Dr. Lionel Bradley Pett, an O.A.C.'30 alumnus, and a life-long contributor to nutritional sciences in Canada, to recognize academic excellence. Upon reflection of Dr. Pett’s research, and in the spirit of the University of Guelph’s commitment to working toward decolonization and reconciliation with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, communities, and lands, the scholarship has been revised with the intent to support future generations of Indigenous scholars in Human Health and Nutritional Sciences. Indigenous applicants are required to confirm their First Nations, Inuit or Métis identity by completing the Indigenous Identity Confirmation Process for Students. Award. 1: Students registered in Nutrition and Nutraceutical Sciences major who have completed a minimum of 4.0 credits and a maximum of 15.75 credits. Award 2: Rotated annually between students registered in the Biomedical Science major in odd years and students registered in the Human Kinetics major in even years who have completed a minimum of 4.0 credits and a maximum of 15.75 credits. Selection will be based on the highest cumulative average. In the event of a tie, the student who has completed the most credits will be selected.

Students registered in the Bachelor of Science program in a major offered by the Department of Human Health and Nutritional Science who have completed a minimum of 4.0 credits and no more than 15.75 credits. Preference for each award will be given to Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) students.
