OATWAY Fund Sponsorship Initiative

The OATWAY Fund is an endowment fund established by the Manitoba Medical College Foudation (MMCF). The express intent of the donor is that the fund be used towards activities and events that provide information, advice, counseling, and/or guidance to assist both undergraduate and postgraduate students in choosing appropriate careers in Medicine (General Family Practice/Specialty Practice) or  at the University (teaching and research etc). These funds are accessible to eligible applicants through Student Affairs Medicine. 

Student Interest groups are encouraged to seek financial support from the OATWAY Fund for group activities open to pre-clerkship and clerkship students, designed to promote awareness of their specialty and candidate suitability for career selection. Student Affairs Medicine

Once your application has been approved, you will need to post acknowledgement of sponsorship through OATWAY funding at your event and/or on your website.
