Friends, colleagues, and former students of Professor Henry Engbrecht have established an endowment fund at the University of Manitoba to recruit top graduate students to the Faculty of Music. The Manitoba Scholarships and Bursaries Initiative has made a contribution to this fund. The award celebrates Professor Engbrecht's dedication to choral music at the University and in the Manitoba community at large. Professor Engbrecht retired from the University in 2006 after 28 years as Director of Choral Studies.

The selection committee shall be the Scholarship and Awards Committee of the Faculty of Music and shall include the Director of Choral Studies and a member of Henry Engbrecht's family.

If you are interested in applying for the fellowship,
