About this award

You get $2,250. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are starting your university journey using your International Baccalaureate (IB — a global standardized curriculum) credentials. There is no application and no deadline. The Admissions department selects recipients automatically in the Fall term, between September and November, once it receives your final IB examination results and confirms you are eligible. The Admissions department automatically selects you for this award once they receive your final examination results and confirm you meet the requirements. Ask University of Winnipeg 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.

Tips for applying

• Academic RecordsAvoid assuming the school has your latest scores. Instead, ensure your final examination results are sent directly to the Admissions department. Contact your IB coordinator to verify the transfer.
• SupportAvoid waiting for a confirmation email. Instead, proactively check your student portal during the September to November window. Set a calendar reminder for early October to follow up.
• StrategyAvoid registering for part-time classes if you want this money. Instead, enroll in full-time studies for both the Fall and Winter terms to remain eligible. Review your course load with an academic advisor.
• RealismAvoid counting on this as your only funding source. Instead, look for other entrance awards since you cannot combine this with a Special Entrance Scholarship. Map out all potential funding options early.
