The Faculty of Graduate Studies Awards Staff are currently working from home and will continue to conduct business as best as possible under these circumstances. As such, deadlines for many internal University of Manitoba awards have been extended into May 2020 in the list below.

All new internal award competitions will be advertised with deadlines in June 2020 where possible, to allow students adequate time to apply for all funding opportunities available to them. If there are any questions or concerns about award application requirements, eligibility, or deadlines – please contact the Graduate Awards Team at graduate.awards@umanitoba.ca and we will be happy to assist remotely via email. Given our new distance-working mode there may be a delay in our response time. Your patience is appreciated, and please rest assured that your email will receive a response as soon as possible based on priorities and time-sensitivity.
