AP Entrance Scholarship

What you will need

• ✓ Final AP (Advanced Placement) examination results submitted to the University of Winnipeg
• ✓ Registration in full-time studies for the Fall and Winter terms

About this award

You receive $2,250. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you have excelled in your Advanced Placement (AP — a rigorous college-level curriculum taken in high school) courses and are starting your first year of university. The University of Winnipeg admissions department automatically selects you for this award in the fall term between September and November once they receive your final exam results and confirm you qualify. You will hear from the school during this window. Selection is automatic based on your exam scores; there is no separate application process or committee review to navigate. Ask University of Winnipeg during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with University of Winnipeg whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must enter the University of Winnipeg as an Advanced Placement Scholar with Distinction. This means you must have an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP (Advanced Placement) Exams you took, and you must score 3 or higher on five or more of those exams. To claim the money, you must register in full-time studies for both the Fall and Winter terms. Note that you may not hold this scholarship in conjunction with a Special Entrance Scholarship.

Tips for applying

• Exam ResultsAvoid delaying the submission of your final scores to the university. Instead, ensure your testing agency sends your official results immediately after the exam period. Contact your high school counselor to verify the transmission of your transcripts.
• SupportAvoid assuming you qualify just because you took the courses. Instead, double-check that your average score is at least 3.5 across all AP Exams and that you scored 3 or higher on five or more of them. Review your score report carefully before the fall term begins.
• StrategyAvoid applying for this manually. Instead, focus on meeting the academic requirements and registering for full-time study, as the admissions department handles the selection automatically.
• RealismAvoid counting on this fund if you are already receiving a Special Entrance Scholarship. Instead, compare the values of your available entrance awards to see which one provides the best financial support.
