Fellowship Committee

The Charitable Trust has been streamlining the application approval process starting with the introduction of an on-line system this past year. Applications are reviewed electronically, and adjudication will be done by teleconference. The decision-making is normally done in the December– March timeframe. The upcoming 100th Anniversary year will be an exciting one, culminating with the announcement to be made at the 2019 CFUW AGM of an impressive number of winners of our 100th Anniversary Fellowships.

Criteria:

a doctoral or professional degree or have worked in an area related to one of the areas of the CFUW Fellowships and Awards
ability to work with online software programs
experience in and/or knowledge of the research environment in Canada
competency in both official languages is a desirable asset but is not mandatory
(for the CFUW Memorial Fellowship a degree in science, mathematics or engineering is required but this is not required for all panelists)

Term
The appointment will be for two years. Additional information may be found on the website https://cfuwcharitabletrust.ca/ or by contacting Betty Dunlop, the Fellowships coordinator at fellowships@cfuw.org or Doris Mae Oulton, the CT chair at dmoulton@mymts.net
