Award Description

The George P. Grant Memorial Award

With monies recently made available through the "Outstanding Teacher Award" and additional donations, an award has been established in honour of George P. Grant, the eminent Canadian philosopher, social theorist, and pioneer in religious studies in Canada. To be called The George P. Grant Memorial Award, it is to be offered annually for the best graduate and/or the best undergraduate paper submitted in any Religion and Culture course during the previous year as nominated by course instructors. Instructors in other University departments who receive papers which treat any aspect of the inter-relationship between religion and culture are also requested to nominate these for consideration and to submit copies of papers to the Chair of Religion and Culture. The award is to be offered only to outstanding candidates whose work serves as a suitable memorial to Grant, and therefore need not be offered every year.
