Maria and Domenico Lonardo Scholarship

Established through the generosity of Maria and Domenico Lonardo's son Michael and their daughter-in-law, Olivia Lewis, in honour of Maria and Domenico's 60th wedding anniversary in October 2012, this scholarship is intended to recognize and encourage academic excellence in the study of immigrant life in Canada, from the Social Science or Humanities perspective - with a preference for History, among students enrolled in pertinent courses such as HIST 308 (Cultures in Contact: A History of Migrations to North America), SOCI / ANTH 381 (Ethnic Communities in Canada), and HIST 212 (The Irish In Canada, which is also listed as IRST 210).

The scholarship will be granted annually to the student who has received the highest final grade in HIST 308, with preference to students majoring in History. In the event that this course is not offered or if there are no qualified candidates, the scholarship will be offered to the student who received the highest grade in SOCI / ANTH 381. In both cases, in the event of a tie in course grades, the scholarship will be awarded to the student with the highest Last Annual GPA.

This scholarship is non-renewable, and is open to full-time and part-time students.
