This award recognizes and supports Afro-Heritage students who serve their communities through volunteering, applied scholarship or leadership. It acknowledges that a more equitable and inclusive society requires efforts to encourage under-represented student groups to pursue lifelong education.

Established in 2020 to celebrate Black excellence in the Royal Roads community, the award was championed by Donneil McNab, a graduate of the Master of Arts in Tourism Management program. McNab is passionate about equity, diversity, cultural awareness and anti-racism, as shown by her volunteerism and involvement in related initiatives, including the creation of this award.
