Value: $1000. One award will be made each year to a graduating Canadian high school student who has been accepted into a full-time academic program in physical sciences at a Canadian university in the fall. The successful student is expected to direct the award towards tuition for studies in physics.

Eligibility: 

-Academic success in the last year of secondary studies - a minimum 80% average overall is required as shown in copies of official high school transcripts.

- Demonstrated passion for physics outside of the normal academic environment (e.g. being a member of a local amateur astronomy club, volunteering with a physics association)

- Demonstrated interest in a wide range of activities outside of physics (e.g. community involvement, sports, debating clubs, etc., including volunteer activities in service of others)

- Minimum of two letters of recommendation by a teacher, principal, professor or association leader (not a relative).
