In special circumstances, the Awards Committee may consider giving the award to a student who began their program in Summer 2014, but this requires special permission from the donor. This award is re-advertised on the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences' awards database ( (https://agawards.agric.umanitoba.ca/index.php/home/common). A new form with the new deadline (October 15, 2014) is available for download. The value is $2,125.
