The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact University of Winnipeg to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student attending the University of Winnipeg who needs extra financial help to cover your education costs. You must apply by August 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, a student 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.
You qualify if you are an undergraduate Indigenous student attending the University of Winnipeg. This award is open to those with any Indigenous Affiliation who are enrolled in any undergraduate program and can show demonstrated financial need.
