Alberta Award for the Study of Canadian Human Rights and Multiculturalism
ALBERTA AWARD FOR THE STUDY OF CANADIAN HUMAN RIGHTS AND MULTICULTURALISM
In recognition of Albertas centennial and the contributions and experiences of our diverse population, the Minister of Alberta Community Development established the Alberta Award for the Study of Canadian Human Rights and Multiculturalism. This award is funded through an endowment by the Human Rights, Citizenship and Multiculturalism Education Fund and is administered jointly by Alberta Culture and Community Spirit and Alberta Advanced Education and Technology. This award supports graduate studies in Canadian human rights or multiculturalism. Graduate students attending an Alberta public post-secondary institution whose studies will contribute to the advancement of human rights and multiculturalism are encouraged to apply. Two awards of $10,000 are available each year. One for a student studying at the Masters level and one for a student studying at the Doctoral level.
Purpose
To encourage graduate studies that will create value for Albertans by promoting informed thinking about Canadian human rights, cultural diversity, and multiculturalism. To support the pursuit of studies in Canadian human rights, cultural diversity, and multiculturalism, and building capacity to undertake human rights or multicultural work in Canada.

Note: The scholarship is not open to students pursuing post-graduate studies.
