Good afternoon everyone,

Please be advised the Terms of Reference for the Faculty of Graduate Studies Travel Award has been updated, which was recently approved by Senate and the Board of Governors. One of the notable changes to the award is the GPA requirement. It is now 3.50 in the last 60 credit hours of study (or equivalent) and the students must be in good standing. It is no longer 3.50 in each of the last two years.

Otherwise, all other requirements of the award are still the same, along with the online application needed to apply for the award.

Any students previously approved under the former regulations before today's date will still be eligible.

The information has been updated on our database, and the link is herehttp://webapps.cc.umanitoba.ca/gradawards/index.asp?WCI=SearchForm&WCE=browse&keywords=&criteria=any&category=0&citizen=0&range=0-1000000&tenable=0&byResearch=on&byAward=on&byEligibility=on&id=2747&letter=F.

Any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you, Laura. ________________________________ Laura McMillan, B.A. Awards Assistant Faculty of Graduate Studies * University of Manitoba 500 University Centre * Winnipeg, Manitoba * R3T 2N2 T 204.474.8089 * F 204.474.7553 ________________________________ Visit us Online: FGS Websitehttp://umanitoba.ca/graduate_studies/ * Facebookhttp://www.facebook.com/umgradstudies/ * Twitterhttp://www.twitter.com/umgradstudies/
