Canadian Federation of University Women Charitable Trust
The Canadian Federation of University Women Charitable Trust (CFUW Charitable Trust) is a registered charity dedicated to supporting graduate studies, literacy, and the creative arts through fellowships and awards. It is sponsored by the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW), a non-partisan, voluntary organization established in 1919 with a focus on promoting education, women's rights, and social justice[1][3].
History
The CFUW started awarding fellowships in 1921, beginning with the CFUW Travelling Fellowship. The CFUW Charitable Trust was formally established in 1967 as a separate entity to manage donations and funds specifically for the administration of these fellowships and awards[2][4].
Mission and Activities
The CFUW Charitable Trust supports a variety of awards and fellowships, including:
- National Fellowships Program: Provides financial support to Canadian women pursuing post-graduate studies in Canada and abroad. The programs support a wide range of academic fields such as international humanitarian efforts, feminist and gender analysis, advanced science and engineering, medicine, public health, and social justice[4][5].
- CFUW Creative Arts Award: A biennial award recognizing excellence in the creative arts[2].
- CFUW Library Award: Also awarded biennially to support library projects or initiatives[2].
Examples of notable fellowships include:
- CFUW Legacy Award: Awarded to doctoral students whose research focuses on advancing gender equality[5].
- Dr. Margaret McWilliams Predoctoral Fellowship: Supports pre-doctoral research[5].
Funding and Donations
