Bursary

Awards and Financial Aid offer an online application designed to help match you to scholarships, awards and bursary opportunities. Selection criteria can include academic record, financial need, student background, and/or extra-curricular activities.

Apply Online

  1. Click on the “Apply online” button above to be directed to the application site. Log in using your UWinnipeg webmail user ID and password.
  2. Information from your student record is automatically included in your application. That means we already have the details on your GPA, completed credit hours, major and other items from your student file. You may review this information by clicking on your "Applicant Record" (lower-left of the page).
  3. Complete the General Application and tell us more about yourself. You will be asked questions about your financial need, student background, and academic goals.
  4. The online application will use both your student record and General Application information to determine which awards you are eligible for. The Awards and Financial Aid office will review the applications and let you know via your UWinnipeg webmail if you are selected!
