C. A. ROWLES Alumni Scholarship

Award descriptionThrough the generosity of the alumni of the Department of Soil Science, a scholarship of $3,750 has been established to honour Dr. C.A. Rowles, who was a Professor of Soil Science from 1946 to 1980 and served as Head of the Department from 1955 to 1980. The award is to be presented to the top student in third year Soil Science who will continue to completion of the B.Sc. degree majoring in Soil Science at the University of British Columbia. Although decision as to the use of the award is to be that of the recipient, it is hoped that in part it will be used to broaden and enrich educational experience through such things as field studies, travel to conferences and meetings, purchase of educational materials and journals and membership in scientific societies.
