About this award

You will receive $203.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing a degree in political science and have maintained the top academic standing in your cohort. You must apply by October 1, 2026. When you apply, ask the University of Winnipeg how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or through a student portal. The Political Science Department recommends a winner based on academic standing. Selection criteria aren't published — ask University of Winnipeg how they determine the highest standing and how many students typically compete for this award 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.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student with the highest standing who is entering the second, third, or fourth year of a Political Science 3-year, 4-year, or Honours program at the University of Winnipeg.

Tips for applying

• SupportAvoid submitting a generic request for funds. Instead, ask a professor in the Political Science Department for a letter of support that confirms your academic rank among your peers.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the October 1 deadline to check your status. Instead, contact the department head early to confirm you meet the highest standing requirement for your year of study.
• RealismAvoid relying on this as your primary source of funding. Since the amount is $203.00, treat it as a helpful supplement rather than a main tuition payment.
