The AURA, a prize that recognizes exceptional students, has been awarded annually for 6 years. It is rooted in the traditions of excellence of the private colleges and their association, the ACPQ.

The AURA Award aims to highlight students who have distinguished themselves through a rallying project or have shone in their outstanding engagement in the community.

As its name indicates, the AURA shines thanks to the students it highlights. Each letter of its name stands for part of its definition as a whole:

• A for Ambition, Advancement and Amelioration
• U for Uniqueness
• R for Reach and Recognition
• A for Accomplishment
