Beginning with the 2005-2006 academic session,
scholarships will be offered to recognize and reward the excellence of
international graduate students pursuing Master’s or Ph.D. degrees at
the University of Manitoba. The scholarships will be offered to
students who:
(1) are international students (i.e., those in
Canada on study permits) continuing in full-time study in the Faculty
of Graduate Studies at the University of Manitoba in either the second
year of a two-year Master’s program, the second year of a two-year
Ph.D. program, the second or third year of a three-year Ph.D. program,
or in the first year of a Ph.D. program after completing a Master’s
degree at the University of Manitoba;
(2) are paying the international student tuition
fee;
(3) have achieved a minimum cumulative grade point
average of 3.5 over the equivalent of the last two years of study;
(4) show great promise as researchers and as
graduate students; and
(5) are not recipients of external funding that
pays for their tuition.
The value of the scholarship is $4,000.
This scholarship may be held with the UMGF and
other awards offered by the University of Manitoba, but may not be held
in conjuction with the International Graduate Student Entrance
Scholarship (IGSES) and the International Graduate Student Bursary
(IGSB). Students may be considered for this scholarship in each year of
eligible study. Students who are enrolled in a re-registration year are
not eligible.
Scholarships will only be applied against any
outstanding international tuition fee differential.
