Subject: 2023 O'Brien Graduate Fellowships - Call for application
Caution: This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba.
Hello,
I hope this finds you well. My name is Jiasi and I am the O'Brien Programs Coordinator at McGill University's Faculty of Law. I am writing to share our call for applications for the 2023 O'Brien Graduate Fellowships. We would be grateful if you could kindly circulate this call within your networks. I have included it to this e-mail, available in English, French, and Spanish.
The O’Brien Graduate Fellowships were established in 2005 through a very generous gift from David O’Brien for outstanding Masters or Doctoral students studying in the area of human rights and legal pluralism in the Faculty of Law, McGill University.
O’Brien Fellows become members of the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism, a focal point for innovative legal and interdisciplinary research, dialogue, and outreach on human rights and legal pluralism. The Fellowships for LLM students are valued at up to a maximum of $25,000 per annum, tenable for 1 year. For DCL students the Fellowships are valued at $35,000 per annum, renewable twice (if eligibility is maintained).
This Fellowship Program is an entrance scholarship. Applicants for this scholarship must also simultaneously submit an application for admission to one of our graduate programs<https://www.mcgill.ca/law/grad-studies/admissions-guide> by the stipulated deadline. More information on the Fellowship program<https://www.mcgill.ca/humanrights/obrien/grad-fellowships> and current graduate fellows<https://www.mcgill.ca/humanrights/aboutus/students> is available on our website.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Best,
Jiasi
