Posting Date(s)

The ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú Scholarships and Awards Office is accepting applications and nominations for the 2020 MacLauchlan Prizes for Effective Writing. 

In July 2011, the family of Harry and Marjorie MacLauchlan of Stanhope, PEI made another leadership gift to ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú to create a substantial program of awards to encourage and recognize student writing achievement. The gift is to honour H. Wade MacLauchlan’s twelve years of service as ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú president and vice-chancellor, and to recognize the importance of effective writing as a foundational skill for academic success and lifelong learning.

The MacLauchlan Prizes for Effective Writing is the largest such student-oriented program in Canada.

A total of 60 awards valued at $500 each are available in 2020 for successful applicants.

Returning undergraduate students, faculty, and staff are eligible to apply for a MacLauchlan Prize for Effective Writing based on criteria for four categories:




The ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú learning community is encouraged to review the four categories of prizes for details on submission criteria. The deadline for submissions is October 6, 2020.
