Angus F. Macgillivray Art Bursary

The Art Department at StFX distributes bursaries each year in honour of the late Angus F. Macgillivray, a former member of the department. 

Angus F. Macgillivray was a sculptor in the medium of wood. Many of his artworks were designed for the StFX community. He is most well-known for his “Stations of The Cross” which hang in the university chapel: a metaphorical interpretation of the Passion of Christ. 

The Angus F. Macgillivray Bursary allows for several monetary awards to be presented to Art Studio and Art History students. A three-member jury determines the Art Studio bursaries after reviewing student portfolios that are submitted in the Winter semester. The Art History Award is awarded at Convocation to a student studying toward a Minor or Subsidiary in Art History. 

Previous recipients of a bursary may not apply again.
