After the deadly plane crash in Iran earlier this month, the University of Manitoba has created a new scholarship to honour the victims.
In a statement released Friday, the school said that a fellowship will be created to honour the victims of the crash that had ties to the U of M. It is set to be awarded on an annual basis to a grad student in a STEM-related field.
The school also created a scholarship to celebrate the legacy of Forough Khadem, a scientist who graduated from the U of M in 2016. The scholarship will be awarded to international female grad students in the STEM disciplines.
Several victims of the flight PS752 crash had ties to the U of M.
