The University of Manitoba offers an exciting array of scholarships to recognize the achievements of recent high school graduates and to assist in financing their post-secondary studies. Each year, new students receive over $3.5 million in entrance scholarships.

Eligibility

All new UM students are considered for a wide range of entrance scholarships and awards. Most entrance scholarships are based on demonstrated academic excellence in the last one or two years of high school.

Simply by applying for admission to the University and submitting your transcripts, you will be considered for the University of Manitoba General Entrance Scholarships and more. Other entrance scholarships, such as the BMO Financial Group Leader of Tomorrow Scholarships and the Schulich Leader Scholarships require applications. Eligibility and application criteria vary for each entrance scholarship, so be sure to read the requirements carefully.
