About this award

You can receive a $1,500 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. There are 8 of these awards available. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student with financial need who is studying at the University of Winnipeg. You must apply by October 1, 2026. When you apply, ask 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 (fund held at The Winnipeg Foundation) how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask University of Winnipeg (fund held at The Winnipeg Foundation) 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 (fund held at The Winnipeg Foundation) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies
