Each, year the History Department awards the Kathleen R. McKenzie Scholarship, valued at roughly $1500, to the student with the highest cumulative percentage average in all courses who is entering the fourth year of the U of S History Honours program. Unlike most other scholarships over which our department has any say, high-graded students cannot just wait for this one to fall into their lap because students must apply to be considered for this award. So, the thing is, in practice the award does not necessarily always go to the student with the highest average entering their fourth year, but it absolutely always goes to the student with the highest average entering their fourth year who happens to apply. So, if you think you might be anywhere near the running for this, rather than obsess about whether your sterling record to date might or might not be superior to some other person's sterling record, throw your hat in the ring. As the ads for the New York State Lottery so succintly put it: "Hey, you never know." Application forms can be found in the wall unit outside the mail room, or online at http://www.usask.ca/history/undergrad_awards_mckenzie.shtml.
