Canadian Japanese-Mennonite Scholarship

The Canadian Japanese-Mennonite Scholarship is a $2,000 scholarship available to a Canadian student, enrolled in a graduate degree program in Canada, doing research that will assist the protection of minority or human rights.

 

 

History and Purpose of the Scholarship

The scholarship was created as a tangible symbol of cooperation between Canadian Japanese and Canadian Mennonites, subsequent to a formal apology that was offered to Canadian Japanese, by MCC Canada on behalf of Canadian Mennonites.

It is intended to assist the protection of minority and human rights in Canada, and to reduce the potential for abuse of cultural minorities such as that suffered by Japanese Canadians during World War II.

The scholarship is co-sponsored by the National Association of Japanese Canadians (NAJC) and Mennonite Central Committee Canada (MCCC).

 

Selection Criteria

The $2,000 scholarship is awarded to a student who is:

• Enrolled in a graduate degree program.
• A Canadian citizen studying at a university in Canada.
• Engaged in research that will assist the protection of minority or human rights in Canada.

 

Deadline

The deadline for the 2008 scholarship is April 1, 2008.
