The TLN Telelatino Award is awarded annually to an undergraduate or graduate student at York University on the basis of outstanding work on the experiences of the Latin America diaspora in Canada. The prize was established in 2009 by a donation made to York University by Telelatino (TLN), a television channel that broadcasts multicultural programs of interest to the Latin American and Italian communities throughout Canada. Two prizes of $1,000 each are awarded annually.
