Good afternoon Med 1 students,

We have completed our allocations for entrance scholarships. Those of you that were deemed eligible have already received notice from Financial Aid & Awards to accept your scholarship. Those that did not receive an email, I regret to inform you that you were not selected.

The College of Medicine has put in place a requirement for recipients of awards/bursary/scholarships to send a thank-you note to the donor. It is always important to take the time to remember the effort and initiative of each donor who established the Max Rady College of Medicine scholarships, prizes, or bursaries, either in loving memory of a family member or previous classmates.

Expressing your thanks is considered to be an act of professionalism.

Students who receive a named award/scholarship/bursary throughout their four years, are expected to send a thank you note to the listed donor.

Students that receive awards/scholarships/bursaries will be notified by Financial Aid & Awards and asked to accept their award (see example below).

Students who do not send a thank you note will be deemed ineligible for subsequent scholarships and awards. This change has been approved by the Awards/Scholarship/Bursary Committee and endorsed by the Dean and members of the Dean's Council.

In the case where a donor is not listed, please contact me at AwardsUGME@umanitoba.camailto:AwardsUGME@umanitoba.ca

Thank you,

Jen
