Scholarships at University of Manitoba

The University of Manitoba recognizes those students who enter the University of Manitoba with a minimum 95% high school final average (based on the courses used for entrance scholarship purposes) as President’s Scholars.

President’s Scholars will be eligible for a number of benefits, such as: scholarship funding of $1,000 in each second, third and fourth years of study (providing they meet renewal criteria), priority registration and notation on the university transcript.

High school and first year student eligibility

To be designated a President’s Scholar, first year students:

• Must have applied for admission to the University of Manitoba by March 1 and be admitted to any direct entry program at the University of Manitoba with a minimum final grade 12 average of 95% based on the five courses used for entrance scholarship purposes.

• Must be enrolled as full-time students with a minimum 24 credit hours in any faculty or school at the University of Manitoba during the Fall/Winter academic session.

President's Scholar renewals

To renew a President’s Scholarship in the second, third and fourth years of study, students:

• Must complete their first, second and third years of study with a minimum degree grade point average of 4.0 based on coursework completed during the regular academic sessions.

• Must continue into the next consecutive year of study as a full-time student with a minimum 24 credit hours.

The International Undergraduate Student Entrance Scholarship was established to reward academic excellence by international students graduating from international high schools and entering studies at the University of Manitoba.

Scholarships will be offered to students who:

• are international students (i.e. in Canada on valid study permits) who have applied for admission to any Faculty or School at the University of Manitoba.

• are paying the international student tuition fee rates.

• have achieved a minimum high school average of 85% based on the best five senior level academic courses.

These scholarships are offered to students who are entering university for the first time on the basis of the full International Baccalaureate Diploma.

Students who have already received a University of Manitoba Entrance Scholarship which is equal to or greater than the amount in their IB tier listed above will not receive any further funding. Students whose UM Entrance Scholarship amount is lower than their IB tier will receive an award for the difference.

• Completion of the full diploma program, including completion of the course Theory of Knowledge, the extended essay and involvement in volunteer work through the CAS (extra-curricular, community services activities) component.

• A minimum grade of 4 or better on each of the three higher level and the three subsidiary level papers.
