About the Awards
The Gold, Silver and Bronze awards recognize the academic achievement of the top three students who are entering the 2nd, 3rd and 4th years of study.
Award Values
- Gold $2,500
- Silver $2,00
- Bronze $1,500
All eligible students are automatically considered for the award. Selection of award recipients will be based solely on the cumulative GPA as recorded on the individual’s Dalhousie transcript at the time of the evaluation.
If there is a tie in the cumulative GPA for an award, the tie will be broken by the GPA across all courses listed or cross-listed as CSCI courses that the student has taken. IF a tie persists, then the award will be split across the recipients: A two-way tie for the highest GPA will see the Gold and Silver award values shared between the two recipients, while a two-way tie for second-highest GPA will see the Silver and Broze award values shared across the recipients.
A student is eligible for an award if:
- They were enrolled in a computer science major 20-credit program (BCS or BSc) with at least 2 credits per term in the student’s two academic terms prior to the award assessment and are in good standing in the student’s two academic terms prior ro the award of assessment and are in good standing in a computer science major 20-credit program at the time of award assessment.

- They have completed all year 𝜂 − 1 CSCI core courses
- The student must have at least one academic term of 2.0 credits (4 courses) or more to complete for their computer science degree at the time of award assessment. Students who have graduated are not eligible.
An announcement will go out each year about deadlines for submission.
