· Merit based awards are awarded once the Fall Term begins. Please be aware that students are required to have their tuition funding in place to ensure that they can pay their tuition on time and prior to the tuition deadline; awards are never promised and students need to be prepared to pay their tuition in full with their own funds. If you are the recipient of an award, you will be notified via your myumanitoba email and the funds from the award are applied to the Student Fee Account on Aurora after the tuition deadline.

The average value of bursaries range in amounts from $400 to $1,000, with over $6 million awarded annually.
