Applications for the 2024-2025 academic year are due September 15, 2024
This scholarship will be awarded to a student who has completed their final undergraduate or M.A. qualifying year and is entering a graduate program in Humanities with preference given to students showing an interest in Canadian History or Philosophy or the language and literature of either French or English speaking peoples. This scholarship, named in honour of the late Senator Thomas Crerar, P.C., C.C., L.L.D., is established by a fund created by a bequest of Dorothy Naylor and administered by the Winnipeg Foundation.
"Getting this award has allowed me the opportunity to make a switch from my full-time work as a social worker to starting grad studies in a different field and building a whole new set of skills...I would like to thank the Sentator Thomas Crerar Scholarship Committee and the Cultural Studies Grad Program Committee for providing me with this once in a lifetime opportunity. I am looking forward to growing academically and exploring new horizons in the rich and vast field of Cultural Studies."
