Fall/Winter 2012-13 Special Entrance Scholarships

We have made some exciting new changes to the Fall/Winter 2012-13 Special Entrance Scholarship program. Keeping with our strong mandate to provide access to post secondary education, we have created a simplified scholarship evaluation process.

The Special Entrance Scholarships are automatically offered to all Grade 12 graduates coming directly from a high school in Manitoba (or any another province in Canada), who meet the conditions below. These scholarships are offered without the necessity of a scholarship application. 

Who is Eligible?

• Have at least an 80% final Grade 12 admission average
• Apply for admission to the University by March 1, 2012.

What is the Value of the Scholarship?

The value  of the Special Entrance Scholarships are determined in the following way: 

Final Grade 12 Admission Average	Amount
95% or higher	$2,250
90%-94.9%	$1,750
86%-89.9%	$1,100
80%-85.9%	$800

In an effort to make our programs more accessible and consistent with our admission policies, the following changes will take effect immediately:

• The value of the Special Entrance Scholarships will be determined based on the final Grade 12 admission average.
• Conditional scholarship offers will be sent on a rolling basis with Final Grade 11 and Interim Grade 12 marks with your offer of admission.
• If your Final Grade 12 admission average increases before August 31, 2012 the scholarship offer will increase.
• If your Final Grade 12 admission average decreases before August 31, 2012 the scholarship offer will decrease or may be lost if it falls below an 80%.
