About this award

You get $2,475. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a top-performing student from the Interlake region of Manitoba who takes pride in academic excellence. You must apply by March 1, 2027. When you apply, ask University of Winnipeg how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection is based on academic performance; the award goes to the student with the highest average among those entering University of Winnipeg who graduated from one of the three designated Interlake high schools. Selection criteria aren't published beyond the average requirement — ask University of Winnipeg how they handle ties if multiple students have the same highest average. 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

Tips for applying

• SupportAvoid waiting until the deadline to troubleshoot technical issues. Instead, contact the University of Winnipeg awards office early if your portal login fails. This ensures your application is timestamped before March 1.
• StrategyAvoid leaving the General Application incomplete. Instead, fill out every optional section of the portal. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, a complete profile shows you are serious about your studies.
• RealismAvoid counting on this money as your only funding source. Instead, apply for multiple awards. Because this is only given to the single student with the highest average in the region, the competition is very narrow and high-risk.
