Ruth Binnie Fellowship

The Ruth Binnie Fellowship honours a founding member of the Nova Scotia Home Economics Association who dedicated her professional life to home economics education. The fellowship provides $6,000 CAD to support graduate students enrolled in masters studies that focus on one or more aspects of the field of Human Ecology, Home Economics, or Family and Consumer Studies. Special consideration is given to those pursuing a postgraduate degree in education. The evolving studies in Human Ecology include: human nutrition, food science, housing/shelter and aesthetics, architecture, financial resource management, clothing and textiles, family relations, human sexuality, and human development. Applicants may be studying abroad. This fellowship is administered by the CFUW Charitable Trust, which supports the advancement of women's education in Canada.
