Lorna Irene Eggertson established an endowment fund at the University of Manitoba, through a bequest
of $175,000 in 2010. The purpose of the fund is to reward and support graduate students in the Faculty of
Graduate Studies. Each year, beginning in 2023-2024, the available annual income from the fund will be
used to offer one or more scholarships with a minimum value of $2,500 each to graduate students who:
(1) have self-identified as Black;
(2) are enrolled full-time in the Faculty of Graduate Studies in any master’s or doctoral program
offered through any faculty, college, or school at the University of Manitoba; and
(3) have achieved a minimum grade point average of 3.0 based on the last 60 credit hours (or
equivalent) of study.
Preference will be given to students who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
