In 1984, MCC issued an apology, on behalf of Canadian Mennonites, to Canadian Japanese for abuse they suffered during World War II. This scholarship is a symbol of cooperation between the two groups.
The $3,000 scholarship funds research on the protection of minority and human rights in Canada in order to reduce the potential for abuse of cultural minorities.
