Eligibility	The Graduate Students' Association confers peer-to-peer recognition of fellow graduate students who are currently not recognized by the University of Manitoba Graduate Fellowship or other national awards. The Awards are designed to recognize the important contributions graduate students make to society through scholarship and community involvement. The awards have been made possible by the generous contribution of Dr. James Burns, a levy applied to all graduate students approved through a GSA referendum, and a contribution made by the Manitoba Scholarship and Bursary Initiative. Awards for full-time Master’s students Two awards valued at $12,000 each will be offered to students who: 1. are enrolled full-time in the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Manitoba in a Master’s (not pre-Master’s) program; 2. do not hold any major fellowships [including, but not limited to, SSHRC, NSERC, CIHR, MHRC, UMGF]; 3. have contributed to society through scholarship and community involvement. Awards for full-time Doctoral students One award, valued at $16,000, will be offered to a student who: 1. is enrolled full-time in the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Manitoba in a Doctoral program; 2. does not hold any major fellowships [including, but not limited to, SSHRC, NSERC, CIHR, MHRC, UMGF]; 3. has contributed to society through scholarship and community involvement. Awards for part-time Master’s or Doctoral students Two awards, valued at $5,000 each, will be offered to students who: 1. are enrolled part-time in the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Manitoba in either a Master’s (not pre-Master’s) or Doctoral program; 2. do not hold any major fellowships [including, but not limited to, SSHRC, NSERC, CIHR, MHRC, UMGF]; 3. have contributed to society through scholarship and community involvement. Recipients must be registered in the academic session for which the awards are tenable in order to accept the award. In order to properly assess the impact of the applicant, the Graduate Students' Association Awards Committee requires that the applicant provide the following: 1. One (1) completed Graduate Student Award Form that includes: 1.1. One (1) Statement of Intent that demonstrates how, through dedication to scholarship and community, the student has bridged academic theory and social practice in order to better serve the local, national, and/or international community. 2.
