This award is for International Graduate Students - the full criteria for this award can be found by clicking here<http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/graduate_studies/funding/104.html>.
They can apply online via the UM Grad Connect<https://app.applyyourself.com/AYApplicantLogin/fl_ApplicantConnectLogin.asp…> system. The information at the following link will assist them in submitting their IGSS application online:

The application takes approximately 15 minutes for students to complete online, so it is easier than ever to apply! If students are unsure if they are eligible, they are welcome to apply and we will be happy to assess their eligibility when their application is received.
Students are welcome to direct IGSS inquiries to me at sara.sealey(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:sara.sealey@umanitoba.ca> should they have questions that are not answered the information at the link above.

Hi Pamela,
My role primarily deals with UMGF and awards. As I wouldn't want to usurp on admissions and their process, the workshop will be geared towards UMGF calculations and only transcripts for the UMGF competition will be considered.
Thank you
Rowena
