Re: 2023 - 2024 University of Manitoba Graduate Fellowship (UMGF) Allocations

 

Please find attached the final allocations for the University of Manitoba Graduate Fellowships (UMGF) for the 2023-2024 academic year. Allocations are based on the average enrolment over the previous two years (2021-22 and 2022-23).

 

On the attached allocation table, please note that the Final June 2023 UMGF Allocation column is the total number of UMGF awards available to offer in the 23-24 academic year. (The column titled Change in Allocation from January to June 2023 will let you know if your UMGF allocation has increased since January, and by how many awards.)

 

Additionally, please find attached a copy of the 2023-2024 Unit Guidelines, as well as the 2023-2024 UM Faculty of Graduate Studies Institutional Award Holder’s Guide for your reference.
