Awards and Financial Aid

University of Winnipeg Bursaries

Bursaries are grants provided to students with demonstrated financial need who have satisfactory academic records (maintaining at least a "C" average).  University of Winnipeg bursaries are designed to supplement assistance students receive through other funding sources, such as government financial aid programs.  As funds are limited, not everyone who qualifies will receive a bursary.   

General Bursary Program

The General Bursary Program is intended to assist students with their direct education costs (tuition and books), and they are based on the individual financial need of the applicant. The General Bursaries are awarded in the Winter term to students with demonstrated financial need and a grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0. We are now accepting applications for this program. Application forms are available online here.

Deadline: January 30, 2012.
