This graduate Award was established by the University of Toronto in memory of the 14 women who died tragically at the Ecole Polytechnique on December 6, 1989. It is awarded annually to a graduate student, in any year of any program, who demonstrates scholarly excellence in research focusing on understanding, prevention, and/or intervention in the area of violence against women and girls and/or against trans and gender non-binary people. Each December 6th, the University of Toronto community marks the National Day of Remembrance & Action on Violence Against Women with events across the institution. In 2016, the University established the Graduate and Undergraduate Award for Scholarly Achievement to recognize students who have made distinctive contributions in the area of gender-based violence research and prevention.
