FINANCIAL AID AND AWARDS Information for Prospective Students
The University of Manitoba rewards academic excellence with an exciting program of entrance scholarships and awards for new and continuing students. An expanded range of academic entrance scholarships was introduced in 1996, and for the 2011/12 school year, over 1300 first year students received entrance scholarships totalling over $1.6 million. The awards and scholarships for continuing University students add up to over $6 million. These amounts, plus a further $300,000 in athletic scholarships, $4 million in university bursaries, and nearly $1.3 million in scholarship and bursary funds from outside agencies administered by the University mean that more than $14 million dollars is made available to University of Manitoba students to offset the costs of their university studies. This information focuses on scholarships and bursaries designed for new University students; information on those designated for continuing University students is available at the University’s Financial Aid and Awards Office and on our website. Most of the entrance scholarships are given for demonstrated academic excellence in the final or next to last year of high school. Others recognize early applicants with individual achievement in the International Baccalaureate Diploma or Advanced Placement exams. Students can also apply for the prestigious Leader of Tomorrow Scholarships which recognize academic giftedness combined with outstanding leadership potential. In addition to these scholarships, which recognize academic excellence, new students can apply for athletic awards which are awarded for athletic prowess. Students with good academic records and clearly demonstrated financial need which cannot be met though regular sources such as the Canada Student Loan Program may also qualify for a University of Manitoba student bursary. General bursary applications are available before the start of each academic year and have an October 1 due date.
Leader of Tomorrow Scholarships
These scholarships, valued at up to $10,000 ($4,000 in first year with renewals possible at $2,000 each year thereafter), are designed to recognize and encourage exceptional Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario high school graduates who combine outstanding leadership potential with academic giftedness.

The University subsidizes a bursary program for new and continuing full‐time university students with good academic marks who demonstrate a significant level of financial need. Bursaries are usually issued in amounts ranging from $100 to $1,000, with over $4 million awarded annually. Candidates will require:

Please note that International students in their first year of post‐secondary study in Canada are not eligible to apply to the general bursary program. Other Awards, Scholarships & Bursaries
The Financial Aid & Awards Office administers a small number of other awards and bursaries which are available for entering students. These are often designed for a very specific group of students, e.g., Manitoba Hydro awards for Aboriginal students in Engineering, Management, Computer Science. All awards that require an application will be posted on the Financial Aid & Awards web site: www.umanitoba.ca/student/awards Other award links:
The Manitoba Student Financial Assistance Program provides financial assistance for educational purposes to Manitobans with limited financial resources. The funds are designed to supplement, not replace, the student’s resources or those of their immediate family. The amount of assistance granted is determined according to specific program criteria, up to the maximum allowable amounts. The Program administers the Canada Student Loans program (CSLP) on behalf of the federal government for students who are Manitoba residents. The 2012‐2013 maximum assistance provided is $350 per week of studies. Needs are met through a 60%/40% Federal (Canada Student Loan)/Provincial (Manitoba Student Loan) cost‐sharing arrangement. Loans are interest free during full‐time study; repayment of loans must begin six months after ceasing to be a full‐time student. Manitoba students are encouraged to apply online at www.studentaid.gov.mb.ca. This will speed up the processing of their loan by four to six weeks. Further information on the requirements and application procedure for the CSLP is available from the Financial Aid & Awards Office. The University of Manitoba Work Study Program
The Work Study Program was initiated in 1997/98 to provide supplementary financial assistance for students with documented financial need through part‐time employment on campus. Eligibility:
must be in receipt of government‐sponsored student aid of at least $2,000 for the current academic session.
Canadian citizens or permanent residents full‐time students (carrying at least 60 percent of a
full course‐load per term, and must be enrolled from September through April).
satisfactory academic standing (average of “C” in previous post‐secondary academic session).
documented financial need as approved by the Financial Aid and Awards Office.
The program was created to provide incentive for students with assessed need to continue their studies and provide them with practical work experience. Applications are available in October of each year. Students are encouraged to check the University of Manitoba’s Career Services website at: http://umanitoba.ca/student/employment/

Bisons Against Bullying Throughout the year, Bison Athletes take part in the community by visiting schools and leading Grade 4, 5 and 6 students through a 1‐hour presentation on the issue of bullying. Throughout the presentation, bullying will be defined and strategies for victims and bystanders will be addressed in an interactive format. This is an important community outreach program for Bison Sports. Spirit Cup Spirit Cup is a series of events and charity fundraising efforts that involves all of the residence buildings on campus. Throughout the academic year, residence students come and cheer on the Bison Sports teams, participate in food and clothing drives and donate their time to raise money for charity ‐‐ all with an aim towards "out spiriting" one another! The purpose of the Residence Spirit Cup is to encourage school spirit and highlight the many positive aspects of the University of Manitoba. Buildings receive spirit points on a per capita basis for their involvement in each activity. An overall winner is announced at the end of the year and the winning residence is awarded a scholarship that is re‐invested in the university in such a way that all students will benefit.
