About this award

You get $602.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you have an outstanding academic record and are continuing your studies in Mennonite Studies. You must apply by February 1, 2027. When you apply, ask University of Winnipeg how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, the portal, or phone. Winners are chosen based on the nomination of the incumbent of the Chair in Mennonite Studies. Selection criteria aren't published — ask University of Winnipeg how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. 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.

Tips for applying

• SupportAvoid assuming the nominator knows your full story. Instead, engage with the faculty in the Mennonite Studies department so they are aware of your academic goals. Visit your professor during office hours to discuss your progress.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to fill out the portal. Instead, complete your General Application early since you are automatically considered for this award once that is done. Double-check that your program of study is correctly listed as Mennonite Studies.
• RealismAvoid treating this as a guaranteed fund. Instead, remember that this depends on a specific nomination from the Chair in Mennonite Studies. Apply for several other bursaries at University of Winnipeg to diversify your funding.
