International students from all over the world

Each year $240,000 is available and is divided among eligible candidates, so the amount per recipient depends on how many are selected. The source lists no other inclusions such as tuition, travel or insurance.

To be considered, you must complete courses in both the fall and winter terms. In most cases you must register for and finish at least 60 percent of a full course-load per term, which means a minimum of 9 credit hours per term. Graduate students do not have to adhere to credit hour minimums provided they are registered as full-time students over the fall and winter terms with the Faculty of Graduate Studies.

You also need to meet the minimum G.P.A. requirements. Continuing students need a minimum degree G.P.A. of 2.0. New students coming from high school need a grade 12 average of 70% or higher. Students admitted on Mature Student Status may also be eligible for bursary consideration. One restriction matters: international students in their first year of post-secondary study in Canada are not eligible to apply to the general bursary program.

This bursary suits full-time undergraduate international students already partway through a Bachelor's degree at the University of Manitoba who meet the G.P.A. threshold and can document financial need. If you are in your first year of post-secondary study in Canada, the general bursary program is closed to you.

Applications are currently closed.

Your financial need must be clearly documented on the application. If you have applied for government student loans from other provinces, include a copy of a current official government loan assessment to support your declaration of financial need. Manitoba Student Aid recipients do not need to submit a copy of their Notice of Assessment. The University of Manitoba General Bursary Application is available through Aurora Student at the beginning of August every year and is due October 1st.
