The Francis and Anne Farnan Memorial Award recognizes deserving domestic (Canadian citizen, landed immigrant, protected and refugee status) and International students who enrol in the ESL program at Capilano University. This award specifically recognizes students' career goals in the fields of education, medicine, internationalism, social science, animal welfare and the arts. As well as high academic achievement, the candidates' spirit of volunteerism within the community is also to be acknowledged among the criteria for award selection.
