Freemasons of Manitoba Award in Human Rights
This Award will support a student enrolled at The University of Winnipeg majoring in Human Rights, Conflict Resolution, International Development, or an area dealing with global ethics. Students pursuing a Master’s degree in Indigenous Studies, Development Practice, or Theology (with a focus on Dialogue Theology) will also be considered. Successful candidates will have demonstrated both high academic achievement as well as financial need. This Award is established by the Freemasons of Manitoba who strongly believe in the promotion of human rights, human dignity, and human potential, all of which are Masonry’s highest aspirations. The establishment of this award coincides with the 150th Anniversary of Freemasonry in the Red River Valley and with the official opening of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
