The Manitoba Family Year 1994 Legacy Scholarship will be awarded to a graduate student studying in the Department of Family Social Sciences at The University of Manitoba. The objective of the scholarship is to support and encourage research on the family and to recognize academic excellence.

The decision will typically be made in the fall, for students registering full-time in the current year. The scholarship may not be held concurrently with a University of Manitoba Graduate Fellowship. The scholarship shall be awarded annually to a student(s) who: is registered full-time in the Faculty of Graduate Studies, in a Master's program in the Department of Community Health Sciences (As of July 1, 2015 the Department of Family Social Sciences, Faculty of Human Ecology merged with the Department of Community Health Sciences, Max Rady College of Medicine, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences); has completed at least 9 credit hours in the program; has a minimum grade point average of 3.5 based on the last 60 credit hours (or equivalent) of study.
