MRH 2024 APPLICATION FORM INSTRUCTIONS
To be eligible as a participant of MRH Canada, you must:
1. Be a university or college student, over the age of 18, and enrolled at an accredited university or college.
2. In response to the challenging environment of rising antisemitism on university campuses across Canada, the following is a new requirement for participants to enhance the long-term impact of MRH. All participants must be returning to campus in the fall of 2024. (Certain exceptions can be made.) Upon their return, participants will collaborate with the campus organization Hillel (or other campus organizations where there is no Hillel) to plan an event for their networks, sharing insights and experiences from the transformative trip. This event will serve to educate others about the Holocaust, promote intercultural understanding, and share personal stories. This collaboration aims to apply the lessons learned during the March of Remembrance and Hope and contribute to creating a more inclusive campus environment.
3. Submit the names and email addresses of two references. One should be a faculty member at the university or college you attend, the other may be a faculty member or an individual who knows you in a supervisory position and can attest to your leadership and commitment through paid or volunteer work. They will be sent a link to an online confidential reference form.
4. Submit a 300 to 500 word essay on one of the four topics provided (see Section IV).
