LGCA Scholarship Program
The LGCA is committed to supporting high-quality, innovative research linked to our regulatory mandate. We offer scholarships for students who are conducting liquor, gambling, cannabis or horse racing research at Manitoba universities.
Scholarships are available on a competitive basis to full-time students enrolled in professional or graduate programs at post-secondary institutions in Manitoba who are engaged in or about to embark on the research portion of their thesis or dissertation. Students may be from any discipline, provided that their research is related to the LGCA’s broad regulatory mandate.
Scholarships are valued at $1,000 for professional programs, $5,000 for masters students, and $10,000 for doctoral students.
Applications for the 2023 scholarship are now closed.
