[Plants-grads] Bursaries - APPLY NOW
by Martha Blouw 07 Sep '18

07 Sep '18

Hi all, "Every year, the University of Manitoba offers a wide-range of bursaries to both new and continuing full time and part-time students who have a demonstrated financial need and a minimum academic standing. Bursaries (student funding that does not need to be repaid) range in amounts from $100 to $1,000 with over $6 million awarded annually. Bursary awards are primarily based upon financial need (as opposed to scholarships which are primarily based upon academics/marks)." The deadline to apply for bursaries is October 1. Information is available at http://umanitoba.ca/student/fin_awards/bursaries/ Martha
