Fellows of the RSC are distinguished Canadians from all branches of learning who have made remarkable contributions in the arts, the humanities and the sciences, as well as in Canadian public life. There are 2,524 active Fellows of the RSC.

The RSC consists of three bilingual Academies embracing a broad range of scholarly disciplines and artistic fields.

The Academy of the Arts and Humanities There are three Divisions of the Academy of the Arts and Humanities: an Anglophone Division (1) – Humanities; a Francophone division (2) – Lettres et sciences humaines; and a bilingual Division for the Arts (3) – embracing architecture, creative writing, and the arts.

The Academy of Social Sciences There are two Divisions of the Academy of Social Sciences: an Anglophone Division (4) – Social Sciences; and a Francophone Division (5) – Sciences sociales.

The Academy of Science There are five Divisions of The Academy of Science: Applied Sciences and Engineering (6); Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (7); Biological Sciences (8); Medical Sciences (9); and Mathematical and Physical Sciences (10). Each Division of Academy III is comprised of both English-speaking and French-speaking Fellows.

The internal selection of candidates to be nominated by the University for prestigious external awards entails the Awards Advisory Committee (AAC) reviewing several times annually, submissions of preliminary nomination materials for certain external awards. Those faculty members whose files have been selected for the preparation of the University nomination for the above award will be contacted by the Office of the Vice-President (Research) for assistance in developing the final nomination package to be submitted to external bodies.

Preliminary nomination materials must be reviewed first by the Office of the Dean of HSS prior to the deadline set by the AAC (see deadline below). Heads or individual faculty members should submit the AAC nomination template document electronically to HSS’s Secretary to the Associate Deans, Savanna Muscat (smuscat@mun.ca). The template can also be obtained from the Grants Facilitators Heather C. O'Brien or Matthew Milner.

Ellen Steinhauer, Manager, Awards and Honours (ellens@mun.ca) is also available if you have any questions about the content of the preliminary nomination materials or about particular awards
