Frequently Asked Questions for Special Entrance Scholarships

How is my award average calculated?

For all students (Arts, Business and Economics, Education, Kinesiology, and Science), we calculate scholarship averages based on the following:

  • Best 40S English (Comprehensive Focus, Literary Focus or Transactional Focus), and
  • Best 40S Math* (Pre-Calculus, Applied Math or Essential Math), and
  • One other 40S or higher-level full credit course.

*Students coming from another province in Canada or the USA, may not need math for graduation. If you take a Grade 12 math we will use it in your award average. If you don’t take a Grade 12 math, we will calculate your average using a grade 12 English course plus two other top Grade 12 courses.

When will I receive notification?

Eligible students will receive a conditional scholarship offer based on their interim Grade 12 grades one to two months after receiving admission. Once we have received students' Grade 12 grades in early September, we will notify registered students of their final scholarship value.

Can I defer this scholarship?

Yes! If you plan to take a gap year between high school and university, you may defer your offer of admission and the Special Entrance Scholarship for up to one year. Please send a formal notice of deferral to admissions@uwinnipeg.ca and awards@uwinnipeg.ca to defer your offer by August 30.

Frequently Asked Questions for International Special Entrance Scholarships

How is my award average calculated?

The admissions department calculates award averages according to the admission requirements by country, which they convert to a Canadian equivalent based on country-specific conversion scales. Depending on the curriculum/board examinations, they will base your award average on four of five courses in your final year of secondary school studies. We will use your converted average to assess award eligibility. The average on your secondary school transcript may not be your admissions average, due to the conversion. You can email your questions regarding conversion to intladmissions@uwinnipeg.ca (include your full name and student number).

When will I receive notification?

Eligible students will receive a conditional scholarship offer shortly after the application deadline.

Once final Grade 12 grades have been received by 澳门王中王论坛, all eligible students who are registered in the minimum required credit hours will be notified of their final scholarship value following the start of their first term of study (September 2025, January 2026, or May 2026).

Can I defer this scholarship?

No. You must claim this award by the last term on your Letter of Acceptance (LOA). For example, if you were offered this award for Fall 2025, you must claim it by Winter 2026. If you are unable to start by Winter 2026, you will forfeit this award. For extenuating circumstances, please reach out to intladmissions@uwinnipeg.ca to make changes to your start term.
