The purpose of the Indigenous Manitoba Wildlife Fellowship Endowment Fund is to provide financial assistance, based on the criteria and academic performance, to support research students (Canadian Indigenous People, Canadian Citizens and permanent residents of Canada). Preference will be given to an Indigenous student who is in Undergraduate, Graduate, or Doctorate Studies or is a member of a post-secondary Indigenous educational institute focussed on the conservation of wildlife in Northern Manitoba.
Eligibility Criteria
This fund is offered to undergraduate, graduate and doctorate students who are enrolled in an accredited Manitoba-based college or university that is recognized by the Canadian Wildlife Foundation. Applicants must be Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada who are pursuing research at a Manitoba-based college or university.

The value of the IMWFEF is up to a maximum of $5,000 but may exceed this amount upon the discretion of the Canadian Wildlife Foundation. The final amount of the fund will be determined by the Canadian Wildlife Foundation based on the relevance and merits of the proposed application and the amount of financial assistance available in a given year.
