About this award

You can receive $1,750 if your final average falls between 90.0% and 94.9%. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a domestic student finishing high school in Canada and planning to enter university immediately after graduation. You must complete your application for admission, including payment, by the deadline. For the 2026-27 academic year it was March 1, 2026, so check the University of Winnipeg's entrance awards page for next year's date. You will receive a conditional offer based on your interim grades one to two months after you are admitted, and University of Winnipeg will notify you of your final scholarship value in early September after your final grades arrive. University of Winnipeg assesses you automatically when you apply for admission. Your award average sets the amount; ask University of Winnipeg how many of these awards they give out each year 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. To keep this award, you must register in full-time studies for the Fall and Winter terms and enroll in a minimum of 18 credit hours. 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 qualify if you are a Grade 12 student coming directly from a high school in Canada and have a final Grade 12 award average of 90.0-94.9% for this $1,750 amount (the scholarship starts at an 85% average, which earns $1,100). You must submit a complete application for admission, including payment, by the deadline and enroll in a minimum of 18 credit hours for the Fall and Winter terms. You are eligible only if you have not received University of Winnipeg (UW) Entrance award(s) valued at $5,000 or more. If you are in the Bachelor of Education program or plan to attend another school for credit, you cannot defer this scholarship; otherwise, you may defer your offer for up to one year by notifying admissions@uwinnipeg.ca and awards@uwinnipeg.ca by August 30.

Tips for applying

• ApplicationAvoid waiting until the last minute to submit your admission form. Instead, complete your entire application and payment well before the March 1 deadline. This ensures you are automatically assessed for the scholarship without technical delays.
• Academic RecordsAvoid worrying if you are from outside Manitoba and didn't take Grade 12 math. Instead, remember that University of Winnipeg will simply use your English grade and your two other top Grade 12 courses to calculate your average. Check your unofficial transcripts to estimate your standing.
• StrategyAvoid ignoring the credit hour requirement. Instead, plan your course load to ensure you are taking at least 18 credit hours for both the Fall and Winter terms. This is a hard requirement to claim your funding.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is the only funding available. Instead, check if you qualify for other entrance awards, but keep in mind that you cannot keep this scholarship if you have already received a University of Winnipeg entrance award(s) worth $5,000 or more.
