Hello Midwifery and Nursing Learners! Please visit: https://umanitoba.ca/nursing/student-experience/resources-undergraduate-stu… for a listing of scholarships available, as the form to submit your application is now open. NSA Scholarships are available to all midwifery and nursing students - including those studying on the campuses of UCN in Thompson and The Pas. You must submit the Form to be considered. The following 4 scholarships require a written statement upload: * Florence Pauls Prize in Nursing * Jean Margaret Mitchell Memorial Award * Julia Alice Saddington Memorial Scholarship * Thomas & Helen Smerchanski Nursing Scholarship All other scholarships (aside from NSA scholarships and the 4 listed above) do not require an application. All students will be assessed for eligibility and be considered. Your degree GPA (DGPA) for nursing can be seen in AURORA<https://aurora.umanitoba.ca/> at the top of your transcript under Degrees. A DGPA is different than your Cumulative GPA. You can also see your DGPA if you login to UM Achieve<https://umanitoba.ca/registrar/um-achieve-students>. Only those students selected as recipients will be notified later in the summer (likely August). The deadline to apply for scholarships in the College of Nursing is Friday May 31, 2024 @ 2359h.

Dear NSA I purchased a locker on May 7 2024. I put a lock on and put a cup and a sweater inside Now I see that you guys have removed my lock and my items from the locker. This SAME exact thing happened to me in fall semester 2023. I will need my lock replaced, my items replaced and a refund for the locker. The items were a -Yeti coffee cup -a Cherokee navy blue sweater and -a lock from UM Bookstore. -Jessica [image0.png]
