About this award

You can receive a $1,000 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student, a new Canadian, a refugee, or a student from an inner-city neighbourhood who shows academic promise and financial need. 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. Selection criteria aren't published — ask The University of Winnipeg how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask The 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 The University of Winnipeg whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be a full time student with a GPA (Grade Point Average — the average of all your final grades) of 2.5. You must also demonstrate financial need as identified by the Opportunity Fund. This bursary specifically seeks to support Indigenous students, new Canadians, refugees, and students from inner-city neighbourhoods.
