GRADUATE STUDENT (verna M. Lefebvre) AWARD

The impetus for this initiative comes from the recognition of the underfunding of graduate students in general, and Home Economics/Human Ecology fields specifically.

The program will provide $8,000 per year, with a maximum of $1,000 per student. Canadian graduate students, studying in the field of Home Economics/Human Ecology are encouraged to apply by means of an application to share in these funds. A student can hold the award for multiple years. However, the application process would apply each year.

Criteria

• Student must be enrolled in a graduate degree program in the field of Home Economics/Human Ecology. Preference will be given to a student who has completed a Home Economics/Human Ecology related undergraduate degree
• Student must be enrolled in a Canadian university
• Part time students are eligible

Assuming the applicant meets the eligibility requirements set forth above, the following criteria will be used in determining the recipients of the awards:

• Demonstration of volunteer work in a Home Economics/Human Ecology area AND/OR
• Demonstration of volunteer work in general

1. Canadian Home Economics Foundation Graduate Student Award application form
