Queen's University Chernoff Family Award 2025-2026

Established by the Chernoff Family which includes Mr. Michael N. Chernoff, B.Sc. (Eng.) 1959, Mrs. Dorine (Dennison) Chernoff, B.A., Manitoba, Ms. Catherine Chernoff, B. of Architecture, Texas, and Mr. M. Bruce Chernoff, B.Sc. (Eng.) 1987. The awards recognize and are in memory of Nick and Maud Chernoff, Michael's parents, who homesteaded on the Saskatchewan prairie and although acquiring very little education themselves, recognized the importance and value of a higher education and dedicated their lives to seeing their children through Canadian universities. The awards also recognize Charlie N. Chernoff, B.Sc. (Eng.) Saskatchewan, Michael's brother, who over the years provided valuable assistance in furthering Michael's career in the earth sciences. These awards have been established to attract and encourage students from all parts of Canada to come to Queen's. The program is especially intended to support qualified Canadian students who otherwise would be unable to study at Queen's. Awarded annually to full-time students entering the first year of any program at Queen's University. Selection of the recipient will be based on a combination of superior academic ability, creative and original thinking, proven leadership qualities and financial need. Preference will be given to students from rural and remote areas of Canada. The awards are renewable for three subsequent years provided a first class standing is maintained and financial need remains evident.
