Scholarships and Awards

 
 

Each year, the Huron University College Students' Council proudly recognizes students who go above and beyond in their commitment to leadership, community building, and service to their peers. Our scholarships and awards celebrate the people who make Huron a better place—often without expecting anything in return.

These awards are open to HUCSC members and volunteers who demonstrate passion, initiative, and an outstanding contribution to student life.

  • Demonstrated consistent excellence in their roles

  • Brought forward innovative ideas or impactful initiatives

  • Shown strong leadership, communication, and teamwork

  • Contributed meaningfully to council culture and operations

Award winners are selected based on performance reviews, peer nominations, and input from the HUCSC Executive team.
