UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA STUDENTS' UNION ENDOWMENT FUND INC


In response to the U of M's inadequate scholarship and bursary program, the UMSU Council, in 1996, passed a resolution creating a new student fee of $30 per student. Distribution works as follows: 30% for scholarships, 40% for bursaries, and 30% for the Endowment Fund. Scholarships are distributed to the top 4% of all students by Faculty and are based on academic merit. Bursaries are awarded, on a capita basis, to all students based on financial need.

As members of UMSU, students are eligible for a total of $850,000 in scholarships and bursaries, awarded on an annual basis. While most of the awards are distributed automatically through Financial Aid and Awards, there are a few scholarships given out through UMSU (in second semester only - check back in the spring for these application forms).
