head/director who will transmit it to the committee. Students may also submit
their own course work for consideration. Instructors’ comments should not
appear. In accepting nomination or making application, students agree to
publication.
Nominations and applications will be assessed by a selection committee consisting
of five academic staff members and chaired by the Associate Vice-President
(Academic). The committee will adjudicate entries for their intellectual
originality, cogency, facility of expression, and adherence to principles
of scientific inquiry and critical thinking.
The value of the prize is $500 cash or a $1000 scholarship tenable in a
graduate program at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Up to five prizes
will be awarded each year. At the discretion of the selection committee,
honorable mention may be accorded to entries beyond the available number
