Endowment Fund 2012-2013 Competition
The School of Medical Rehabilitation Endowment Fund was established at the University of Manitoba in 1988. The purpose of the Fund is to support the development of the School through its various constituencies - students, faculty members, support staff and alumni. Examples of projects that could receive support from the Fund are enhancement of facilities, innovative teaching methods, staff development, research - any proposal that will enhance the School and its mission is eligible for support.

Currently, over $500,000 has accumulated in the Fund as a result of donations, student pledges of support and accrued interest. Each year a portion of interest earnings are distributed to student bursaries and the Endowment Fund competition. This year, approximately $23,000 can be distributed to award recipients. One half of the allocation will go to student bursaries and the balance to the Fund competition. The SMR Endowment Fund Advisory Committee extends an invitation to apply for these funds.

The deadline for application is Monday, February 4, 2013.
