Janusz Korczak Association of Canada Graduate Scholarship in Children’s Rights and Canadian Indigenous Education
A scholarship of $1,000 is offered to an outstanding graduate student in the Faculty of Education whose research is focused on children’s rights and/or Canadian Indigenous education in the field of Early Childhood Education. This award is to honour the legacy of Janusz Korczak’s life and work. A Polish-Jewish pioneer of child advocacy, Korczak was one of the great humanitarians of the 20th century who devoted his life to establishing and defining the rights of the child. Korczak’s ideas were adopted by the United Nations in the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1959. Preference for scholarship will be given to an Indigenous student. This award is made upon the recommendation of the Faculty of Education in consultation with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
