ANNOUNCEMENT

FELLOWSHIPS PROGRAM FOR WOMEN IN Ph.D
MANAGEMENT STUDIES

A private foundation has donated $760,000 to establish the Outreach Doctoral Fellowships program in support of female students who wish to undertake Ph.D study in management and business administration. The program, which will support ten women at the University of Alberta and ten at the University of British Columbia, will support each student for three years. Each year, two or three students will be added to the program at each university.

Fellowships amount to $12,000 per year plus $2,000 allowance for moving and academic travel. The first award will likely be made in time for the September 1986 academic year. Canadian universities have been producing fewer graduates each year than the number of vacant business teaching positions in the country. The fellowships are intended to attract into Ph.D business management studies, academically gifted women who wish to pursue careers in teaching and research. Information contacts:
