The Faculty of Graduate Studies offers scholarships to recognize and reward the excellence of international graduate students pursuing Master's or Ph.D. degrees at the University of Manitoba. The scholarships, valued at up to the international differential tuition fee amount, will be offered to graduate students who:

(1) are international students (i.e., those in Canada on study permits);

(2) are enrolled full-time in the Faculty of Graduate Studies in either:

(a)the second year of a Master's program with a two-year fee structure;

(b) the second year of a Ph.D. program with a two-year fee structure;

(3) are paying the international student differential tuition fee;

(4) have achieved a minimum grade point average of 3.5 based on their last 60 credit hours (or equivalent) of study or last equivalent two full years;

(5) show great promise as researchers and as graduate students;

(6) are not recipients of external award funding that pays for their tuition.

This scholarship may be held with the University of Manitoba Graduate Fellowship (UMGF) and other awards offered by the University of Manitoba, but may not be held in conjunction with the International Graduate Student Entrance Scholarship or the International Graduate Student Bursary. Students may be considered for this scholarship in each year of eligible study. Students who are enrolled in a reregistration year and are paying only continuing fees are not eligible for consideration.

Scholarships will first be applied against tuition fees.

If you are planning to transfer from a Master’s to a PhD program, or to apply for a PhD program next year, you are encouraged to submit an IGSS application before the deadline. Even if you are unsure what you will do, you are encouraged to submit an application. An assessment of your eligibility will be performed when your complete IGSS application is received.

International Students who are unsure if they are eligible to apply are encouraged to submit an application. An assessment of eligibility will be performed once your complete application is received.
