Reasons you should apply for a SAMRU Award

For over 60 years, the Students’ Association of Mount Royal University (SAMRU) has believed the ultimate goal of all Mount Royal University students is academic success and personal achievement. SAMRU understands the importance of recognizing and honouring the non-academic and extra-curricular contributions of MRU students. So we’ve dedicated a day to give back to the exceptional individuals who are a part of the campus community – to the tune of $40,000 in scholarships at the SAMRU Awards, as a matter of fact.
