(To reward the academic achievements of undergraduate students pursuing studies in the Nutrition Option of the Bachelor of Science (Human Nutritional Sciences) degree program at the University of Manitoba)

Each year, two equal scholarships will be offered valued at a minimum of $2,000 each to undergraduate students who: (1) are enrolled full-time (minimum 80% course load) in the third or fourth year of study of the Bachelor of Science (Human Nutritional Sciences) degree program in the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences; (2) have declared a concentration in the Nutrition Option; (3) have achieved a minimum degree grade point average of 3.5; and (4) have demonstrated engagement in community outreach with plans to pursue a career in community nutrition or community health. In order to demonstrate how they meet criterion (4), applicants will be required to submit a written statement (maximum 250 words) with their application. Preference will be given to students who have demonstrated exceptional community outreach. The scholarship may be renewed once for students entering their fourth year of study, provided they continue to meet the criteria above. In the event that there is only one student who meets all of the numbered criteria, the second scholarship can be awarded to a student who meets criteria (1) through (3). In the event that there are no students who meet all of the numbered criteria, both scholarships can be awarded to students who meet criteria (1) through (3). Only two Joan Fleming Anders Scholarships can be awarded in any given year. The selection committee will have the discretion to determine the number and value of scholarships offered each year as outlined above, based on the available income from the fund.
