From: awards-contacts-bounces(a)lists.umanitoba.ca <awards-contacts-bounces(a)lists.umanitoba.ca> On Behalf Of Rachel Barber Sent: Monday, November 25, 2019 1:53 PM To: awards-contacts(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Cc: Sara Sealey <Sara.Sealey(a)umanitoba.ca> Subject: Trudeau Foundation Doctoral Scholarships - Information Session for Students Importance: High Hello Awards Contacts, I'm writing to let you know about an information session that FGS is holding for the upcoming Trudeau Foundation Doctoral Scholarship award. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this prestigious award, it is perhaps most comparable to the Tri-Agency Vanier award, in that it seeks to support academics and researchers who show strong leadership skills in various community and work settings; additionally, the Trudeau Scholarship also seeks to encourage the development of public intellectuals - the movers and shakers who will shape social conversations and movements in the public, non-profit, and private sectors. As per the Trudeau Foundation's website, the intent of this doctoral scholarship is to support "courageous, bold, original thinkers" who have held extensive leadership roles in their communities, and who seek to extend their research "beyond academia, to partner and work with a diversity of actors across society, and to help address some of the most pressing domestic and global issues of direct relevance for the future of Canada." This is a three-year funding program that will require award recipients to attend, participate and organize several international conferences, in addition to collaborating on a creative project that will showcase the knowledge aquired over the duration of the award and to stimulate public dialogue. If interested in the scholarship, potential applicants are encouraged to review previous award recipients here<http://www.trudeaufoundation.ca/en/community/boursiers/all/all>. The competition for the Trudeau Foundation Scholarship for the 2020-2021 academic year is currently underway, and will be advertised to all graduate students via our "Upcoming Awards" email that will be sent out on Wednesday. Information on how to apply for the Trudeau Foundation Doctoral Scholarship, as well as the award requirements and deadlines, can be found on the Awards Database by clicking here<http://webapps.cc.umanitoba.ca/gradawards/index.asp?WCI=SearchForm&WCE=brow…>. Note that award application is open to all doctoral students who are either accepted into a program or currently pursuing full-time studies at the University of Manitoba - Canadian citizens, Permanent Residents, and International students may apply. While I will send out the details of this information session to all students in the next "Upcoming Awards" email, I am hoping you can also assist in getting the word out about this session by forwarding this information to your graduate students. Sign up is required to attend this session, so please encourage your doctoral students to indicate their intended participation, as follows: Trudeau Foundation Doctoral Scholarships - Information Session (Fort Garry Campus) - Sign-Up Required<https://manitobagrad.radiusbycampusmgmt.com/ssc/eform/zB0k8IEC686G0x671wB71…> Tuesday, December 3, 2019 10:00 am to 11:30 am Room 252 St. Paul's College (Mauro Centre Boardroom) Sign up here for the Fort Garry Trudeau Foundation Doctoral Scholarship Information Session<https://manitobagrad.radiusbycampusmgmt.com/ssc/eform/zB0k8IEC686G0x671wB71…> Doctoral students who have questions about the Trudeau Foundation Scholarship award application process, eligibility, and requirements are encouraged to attend this session.
