Persons Case Scholarship

Named for the 1929 ruling that made women legally persons in Canada, this $2,500 award goes to students working to advance gender equality in the arts, humanities and social sciences.

Forty awards, and unlike its two sister scholarships this one is not restricted to women: it is open to any student whose gender is underrepresented or disadvantaged in their field, which is how men in nursing-adjacent and care fields have qualified. Graduate students may study outside Alberta; undergraduates must be at an Alberta institution.
