What you will need

About this award

You can receive $1,439.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you have demonstrated financial need and have maintained a strong record of grades in your previous studies. You must apply by March 1, 2027. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, a portal message, or a phone call. You are automatically considered for this award based on your completed General Application. Ask University of Winnipeg how many students usually apply, 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

To qualify, you must be entering First Year at the University of Winnipeg in any program. You must also show financial need and be in good academic standing.
