DOLLARS FOR SCHOLARS
Last year, the CMHC Scholarship Program attracted 172 applicants and
awarded 27 new scholarships. Those are pretty good odds: about one in
six.
Since its inception in 1947, the program has given out almost $27.3 million
to 2 495 Canadian students. The current annual maximum is $14 154 per
student.
Like most scholarship programs, the one administered by Canada Mortgage and
Housing Corporation (CMHC) looks for top students. More specifically, CMHC
scholarships are given only to full-time Canadian students working on a
university Master's degree related to housing.
The possibilities for graduate studies in housing are much broader than one
might initially think. Awards go to students in such varied disciplines as
engineering, environment, business and public administration, social and
behavioural science, architecture, economics, law, planning, and history.
Leslie Coates, who in 1993 completed her Master's degree in Landscape
Architecture at the University of Guelph, was one of 25 winners in the 1992
competition. She says, "Winning a CMHC scholarship allowed me to expand
the scope of what I could do. It gives you a tremendous sense of
confidence." The extra time to make contacts in the housing industry
afforded by the CMHC scholarship has paid off for Leslie. Her thesis
received positive comments in a Globe and Mail column and spawned a
lengthier recent article in a widely read journal published by the Canadian
Urban Institute.
Ms. Coates was "very impressed" with the aims of the CMHC Scholarship
Program. "It's Canada's primary source of financial support for the
training of professionals in housing and community planning. It's
definitely needed."
If you or someone you know would like to apply for a CMHC scholarship,
forms can be picked up now at either the Graduate Studies or Student Awards
office. But hurry. Students must submit completed applications to the
university they wish to attend by March 25, 1994.
