University of Manitoba Bursaries Every year, the University of Manitoba offers a wide-range of bursaries to both new and continuing full time and part-time students who are enrolled in school from September to April who have a demonstrated financial need and a minimum academic standing. Bursaries (student funding that does not need to be repaid) range in amounts from $100 to $1,000 with over $6 million awarded annually. Bursary awards are primarily based upon financial need (as opposed to scholarships which are primarily based upon academics/marks). Application details are here: http://umanitoba.ca/student/fin_awards/bursaries/ Martha
