Award Recognition 2022
The land we learn on
The University of Guelph resides on the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron people and the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize the significance of the Dish With One Spoon Covenant to this land and that today, this gathering place is home to many First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.
We offer our respect to our Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Métis neighbours as we strive to strengthen our relationships with them and we're reminded of our connection and responsibility to this land where we learn and work.
Congratulations to Our Students
Annually, the College of Social and Applied Human Sciences (CSAHS) distributes over $500,000 in student awards and recognizes the academic achievement and outstanding leadership of over 200 students. Many of these awards are generously funded by donors who see the importance of supporting students in their academic and professional pursuits. We are so proud of the excellence of our students and the generosity of our donors and want to share some of their stories.
Thank You from the Dean
"I would like to thank you, the donors, for your ongoing generosity and support of our student awards and scholarships. Student support is more important than ever, and your generosity allows that to happen."

"When I graduated, I really found that extracurricular opportunities gave me a breadth of knowledge beyond the classroom curriculum... So the award that I set up isn't just based on being the highest marks in the class, but being involved."

"Like every child growing up, I had big dreams, and one of them was to go to post-secondary. When I did get into the University of Guelph, it felt like something big. I was going to be the first one to do so in my family."
