University of Manitoba Bursaries Every year, the University of Manitoba offers a wide-range of bursaries to both new and continuing full time and part-time students who are enrolled in school from September to April 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 $3 million awards annually. Bursary awards are primarily based upon financial need (as opposed to scholarships which are primarily based upon academics/marks). All bursary applications require students to complete a budget section. Please read carefully as the budget refers to a specific time period. Please read below the eligibility requirements for the annual Fall/Winter University of Manitoba General Bursary application and the annual Spring/Summer University of Manitoba General Bursary application.
