About this award
You will receive $440.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an outstanding Indigenous student pursuing a career in education. You must apply by October 1, 2026. When you apply, ask University of Winnipeg how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, a portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask University of Winnipeg how winners are chosen and roughly 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.
Who qualifies
You must be an outstanding Indigenous student. You must also be enrolled in either the B.Ed. (Bachelor of Education) program at The Winnipeg Education Centre (WEC — the university's specialized teacher training site) or the Community-Based Aboriginal Teacher Education Program (CATEP — a program designed to support Indigenous teachers in their communities).
