Important Information RE: IGSS
by Graduate Awards 21 Mar '17

21 Mar '17

Hello Award Contacts, The International Graduate Student Scholarship (IGSS) was created with the intent of assisting International Students who are paying the international student differential tuition fee beyond their first year of study in the Faculty of Graduate Studies. We are currently accepting applications for the IGSS for the 2017-2018 academic year - link to the application and our FAQ page can be found by clicking here<http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/graduate_studies/funding/igssfaq.html>. Please note that the IGSS has specific requirements beyond being an international student - all the IGSS requirements must be met in order to be recommended for the scholarship for the 2017-2018 academic year, and this includes a GPA requirement (full requirements for the IGSS can be found by clicking here<http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/graduate_studies/funding/104.html>). If students are unsure if they are eligible to submit an application - we would encourage them to apply anyways. The application is simple and takes less than 15 minutes to complete. We will happily assess their eligibility once we receive their application and respond to them with a decision on their application. Particularly, we would encourage Master's students who THINK they might transfer to, or start a new, PhD program here at the University of Manitoba in the Summer 2017, Fall 2017 or Winter 2018 terms to apply for this competition. There is a spot on the application to indicate when they think they might begin a PhD program. If they think there is a chance at all they might begin a PhD program in Summer 2017, Fall 2017 or Winter 2018 terms then they should ensure they apply for the IGSS and indicate their possible start date in the appropriate spot on the application form. (NOTE: starting a PhD program beyond Winter 2018 will be considered on future IGSS applications. We were hoping that you could help spread the word to international students in your area that they need to ensure they apply by the April 11th, 2017 deadline. Starting this year we will no longer to be able to accept late applications for the IGSS - so students who do not apply by April 11th, 2017 will not be permitted to submit a late applications and will therefore not be assessed for the IGSS starting in the 2017-2018 academic year.

Revised Terms of Reference: Faculty of Graduate Studies Travel Award
by Laura Mcmillan 24 Feb '17

24 Feb '17

Good afternoon everyone, Please find attached the revised Terms of Reference for the Faculty of Graduate Studies Travel Award, 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 each of the last two years of study (or equivalent) and the students must be in good standing, and no longer 3.50 in the last 60 credit hours of study (or equivalent). 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 here<http://webapps.cc.umanitoba.ca/gradawards/index.asp?WCI=SearchForm&WCE=brow…>. 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 Website<http://umanitoba.ca/graduate_studies/> * Facebook<http://www.facebook.com/umgradstudies/> * Twitter<http://www.twitter.com/umgradstudies/>

Re: Revised UMGF Terms of Reference
by Rowena Krentz 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Dear colleagues, Please find attached the revised UMGF Terms of Reference, which were recently approved by Senate and the Board of Governors. A notable change to the award pertains to the minimum GPA requirement. Whereas the previous regulations require a minimum GPA of 3.75 in the last 60 credit hours (or equivalent) of study, the new regulations require a minimum GPA of 3.75 in each of the last two years of study. This requirement is consistent with Tri-Council's GPA requirement for their Master's and Doctoral Awards. Any students selected and recommended under the former regulations before today's date will be deemed eligible. The following documents have been updated on our website http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/graduate_studies/funding/forms.html located at the bottom of the page under the "UMGF & MGS Information" heading: - UMGF Unit Guidelines 2017-2018 - UMGF Recommendation Form 2017-2018 - UMGF Award Holders Guide 2017-2018 If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you Rowena ________________________________ Rowena Krentz B.Comm.
