Answering Questions on the General Application

What is a first generation student?

You are a first-generation student if neither of your parents or guardians have attended post-secondary studies (college or university). If your sibling has attended college or university, that’s okay. You’re still within the first generation of your family to attend post-secondary studies.

Do I need to have my treaty card, Metis card, or other indigenous identification documentation to self-declare at 91资源全集?

No, at this time we do not require you to upload these documents. We understand you may not always have documentation and allow you to self-declare.

Please note that other award opportunities like the Louis Riel Bursaries and Business Council of Manitoba Aboriginal Education awards may require identification.

How do I select an "Expense Category"?

There are 5 options available. Only select one. Choose the option that best applies to your living situation.

For example, if you are an international student who is married but is living in Winnipeg by yourself, you would choose "Option 3: I am a single student not living with parents/family, paying rent." 

Enter the number one (1) as your answer. Make sure you enter zero (0) for the other options.

What if I have no "Monthly/Term Resources" to report?

Every student should have resources of some sort, whether it’s help from parents, spouses, part-time jobs, student aid, personal savings, etc.

If you’re unsure how to answer the resources questions, please contact awards@uwinnipeg.ca for guidance.

NOTE: Be careful not to confuse this section with the "Expense Category" section that comes before. You will need to enter an amount, not just the number one (1) or (0).

What if my living situation changes during the term?

Enter your Expense Category (living situation) as you intend it to be for most of the term.

For example: if you are living at home right now but will be moving out to live on your own for the rest of the term, you would select "Option 3: I am a single student living away from home, paying rent."

What should I include in my "Personal Statement"?

The personal statement should include information on your educational/career goals, skills, abilities, interests, aspirations, etc. You may also want to state how receiving award funding will help you with your educational costs.
