What you will need

About this award

You get $757. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a Manitoba resident living with a disability, or if you are the child of a person living with a disability, and you have financial need. You must apply by March 1, 2027. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. You are automatically considered for this award based on your completed General Application. Ask University of Winnipeg how many students usually apply, 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

You must be a resident of Manitoba with financial need. You must be entering The University of Winnipeg. Additionally, you must be handicapped or the child of a handicapped person.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid giving vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, provide clear details about your current financial gaps. List the specific costs you are struggling to cover.
• SupportAvoid omitting the connection between your application and your disability status. Instead, ensure your General Application clearly identifies why you meet the handicap criteria. Double-check that this information is visible to the reviewers.
• StrategyAvoid treating this as a separate application. Instead, focus your energy on making your University of Winnipeg General Application as thorough as possible since that is how you are considered.
• RealismAvoid assuming this award will cover all your costs. Instead, view this $757 as a helpful supplement to other grants and loans. Apply for multiple awards to build a full funding package.
