About this award

You can receive $7,196. 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 from Manitoba starting your university journey. You must apply by March 1, 2027. When you apply, ask University of Winnipeg how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through an application portal. 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

To qualify, you must be an Indigenous student who resides in Manitoba. You must also be entering an undergraduate degree program at The University of Winnipeg.
