Friends, family, and colleagues of Dr. Daryl F. Kraft have
established the Daryl F. Kraft Memorial Endowment Fund at
the University of Manitoba. The Manitoba Scholarship and Bursary
Initiative has made a contribution to this fund. Dr. Kraft,
former Head of the Department of Agribusiness and Agricultural
Economics, was noted for his ability to explain complex agricultural
issues in a straightforward and objective way to students,
the agricultural industry, and the general public. The fund
will be used to support a number of initiatives that encourage
clear and objective discussion of agricultural issues in Canada
including, in addition to this Fellowship, the Daryl F. Kraft
Undergraduate Student Paper Prize in Agricultural Policy,
and the Daryl F. Kraft Lecture Series on Agricultural Policy.
After the annual prize has been offered (Undergraduate Student
Paper Prize), the balance of the available annual income from
the fund plus any available unspent revenue will be used to
offer one Fellowship, with a minimum value of $12,000.00,
to an outstanding graduate student who:
1. is a Canadian citizen or Landed Immigrant;
2. is enrolled full-time in the Faculty of Graduate Studies,
in the MSc degree in Agribusiness and Agricultural Economics
(thesis option);
3. has obtained a minimum degree grade point average of 3.5
(or equivalent) based on the last 60 credit hours of study.
Only one recipient may hold the Fellowship at any one time.
Recipients may hold the Daryl F. Kraft Fellowship concurrently
with any other awards, consistent with the policies in the
Faculty of Graduate Studies.
Applications are available from the Graduate Studies Assistant,
Department of Agribusiness and Agricultural Economics, or
download from the link below. Completed applications and accompanying
documents should be submitted to the address on the application

The award may not be offered every year, therefore please

The selection committee for this fellowship will be the Awards
Committee of the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences.
If, in the judgment of the selection committee, no student
warrants receipt of this fellowship, it need not be awarded
in that year.
