Dear MAHN students,
Please see the email below as there may be some fundings that you are eligible to apply for although MAHN students may not be eligible for many of these awards because the MAHN program is course-based, not thesis-based. Please note that students are responsible for searching out and verifying they are eligible for funding opportunities including meeting eligibility and application deadlines.

The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate and Dene, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of Reconciliation and collaboration.
