Apply by August 1 for a bursary to help cover your education costs if you are an Indigenous undergraduate student at the University of Winnipeg.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact University of Winnipeg to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing an undergraduate degree and need extra financial support to afford your studies. You must apply by August 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back, whether it is by email, phone, or a student portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask University of Winnipeg how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask University of Winnipeg during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with University of Winnipeg whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Read the official award page end-to-end. Confirm you meet every requirement before you start.
Double-check every field, save a copy, and submit at least 24 hours early.
The biggest mistake is providing a vague statement about needing money.
Winners instead provide a clear, honest breakdown of their tuition gaps and living expenses to prove their financial need.
The biggest mistake is submitting the application without checking for errors.
Winners instead have a counselor or mentor review their documents to ensure all eligibility markers are obvious.
The biggest mistake is waiting until the last minute to gather documents.
Winners instead prepare their proof of Indigenous affiliation and financial records weeks before the August 1 deadline.
