A $6,550 prize has been made available through an endowment established by Dr. Rashid Sumaila upon being named the 2017 Volvo Environment Prize laureate, for a Master’s or Ph.D. student whose peer-reviewed publications to date are expected to have the most significant impact on the field of environmental sustainability.
Preference is given to students supervised by faculty members who are affiliated with the Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries; the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability; or the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs.
The prize will alternate each year between a Master’s and a Ph.D. student. The prize is made on the recommendation of the Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries, in consultation with Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
