Featured initiatives
SLAIS General Scholarship and Bursary Fund
Students at the UBC School of Information are working towards a thriving society where communities can engage with information; enable democracy through evidence, accountability, and transparency; and preserve and shape our collective memory and culture. Your contributions allow us to elevate talented students and meet our commitment to ensuring no qualified domestic student is unable to attend for financial reasons alone.
Gene Joseph First Nations Scholarship
This award honors Gene Joseph, the founding librarian of UBC’s Xwi7xwa Library, to support Indigenous students pursuing a master’s degree in library and information studies.
At the time of the first award, Joseph was one of the few First Nations librarians in Canada – now, sixteen Indigenous Gene Joseph Scholars are working as information professionals. Help continue the legacy of Gene Joseph and support Indigenous people in the profession by donating to this scholarship.
Mary Sue Stephenson Award for Excellence in Adjunct Teaching
Named after Senior Instructor Emerita Mary Sue Stephenson, this award recognizes the teaching achievements and impacts of an iSchool adjunct professor or sessional lecturer every year. The quality of education at the UBC School of Information would not be what it is without our adjunct faculty, who bring a myriad of professional and personal experiences to the classroom. Your donation continues the enrichment of our students’ education, and supports the hard work of our adjunct faculty.
