These requirements include academic criteria (e.g., certain minimum number of courses that must be completed, specific required courses, minimum grades in specific courses, minimum overall or adjusted averages, etc.) and non-academic criteria (e.g., references, an interview, relevant background information, etc.).

Financial Aid & Awards




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.

Student Financial Assistance Program

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/

Colleges The University of Manitoba’s affiliated on‐campus colleges offer diverse social, financial and academic supports to their members. Memberships are available from $0 ‐ $10, and are often all that is required to take advantage of scholarship opportunities and smaller class sizes. The University of Manitoba has four historic colleges on campus:

St. Andrew’s College St. John’s College St. Paul’s College University College

Membership in these colleges is neither restrictive nor limited in any way, and no prior affiliations are required.

TOP THREE REASONS TO BECOME A COLLEGE MEMBER:

1. SCHOLARSHIPS: Once a student has declared his or her affiliation with a college, he/she automatically becomes eligible for numerous scholarships and bursaries, many of which total greater than $1,000. In particular, there are many scholarships available to students commencing their first year of studies, students with athletic talent, and students who excel in their first year.

2. RESIDENCE: Students looking for a small community atmosphere are well

suited to live in a college residence. These residences often have fewer units than other on‐campus residences and are a great way for new students to interact with their neighbours and fellow students on a daily basis. Weekly events, such as barbeques and pancake breakfasts, as well as community events, like recreational sports teams and student retreats, are commonplace.

3. ACADEMIC FACILITIES: Each college offers its own unique literary and

academic library to members. Members are also often given their own study carrel and locker. Furthermore, members are never far from spiritual and academic advisors or student council representatives who plan social events and represent member interests to both the College and the University.

‐ Juan, Medical Rehabilitation student

I have formed connections and made lasting relationships in both local and international communities.” ‐Deanna, Commerce student Learn more about our programs and opportunities. With so many options there is definitely an opportunity that is the right fit for every student.

We highly recommend these events for all new students. Service‐Learning Programs: We offer students the opportunity to participate in experiential education activities that are designed to address and meet community needs. Service‐learning can be a rewarding experience for every student. We have international service‐learning programs in Ecuador, El Salvador, and Bangladesh, as well as domestic programs that contribute to the social and economic well‐being of communities in the Winnipeg area and province wide. **New this year: All students participating in overseas service‐learning programs will receive training through an Extended Education course designed to enhance their understanding of experiential education.

Leadership Development: We believe leadership skills can be learned. This is why we offer many programs and opportunities for students to develop and practice as leaders in our campus community. **New this year: The leadership development certificate. This program will help students to define their own leadership philosophy and develop their skill‐sets through practice and a capstone project. Student Recognition: Students who are engaged in co‐curricular activities will receive official recognition through the co‐curricular record.
