International Graduate Student Entrance Scholarship (IGSES)
Beginning with the 2005-2006 academic session, scholarships will be offered to recognize and reward the excellence of incoming international graduate students. The scholarships, initially valued at $4,000, will be offered to students who:
(1) are international students (i.e., those entering Canada on study permits) entering the first year of study in the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Manitoba as full-time students pursuing a Master’s or Ph.D. degree or Graduate Diploma;
(2) are paying the international student tuition fee;
(3) have achieved a minimum grade point average of 3.5 based on their most recent two full-time years of study, as outlined below.
(4) are not recipients of external funding that pays for their tuition.
This scholarship may be held with the University of Manitoba Graduate Fellowship (UMGF) and other awards offered by the University of Manitoba. Grade point averages will be assessed according to the process used for the UMGF based only on official transcripts received by the application deadline date.
Scholarships may be redeemed upon enrolment in the Faculty of Graduate Studies and registration in a graduate program of study. Scholarships will only be applied against any outstanding tuition fees.
This scholarship will be administered by the Faculty of Graduate Studies.

Official Transcripts
Official transcripts are required from ALL recognized, post-secondary institutions attended, no matter whether a degree has been awarded or not. Transcripts must be received in envelopes that have been sealed and endorsed (stamped across the back flap) by the main Records Office of the issuing institution. In cases where the transcript does / will not clearly state that a degree has been conferred, and when it was awarded, an official degree certificate (attested or certified copy) is required to accompany the transcript. If the transcript is issued in a language other than English (and is not from a Canadian institution) the applicant must arrange for the submission of official literal translations of all records. The original language documents and the English translations must arrive together in an envelope that has been sealed and endorsed (stamped across the back flap) by the issuing institutions. All academic documents must arrive directly from the main records office (e.g., the Registrar, Controller of Examinations, Archives, etc.) of the issuing institution in order to be considered “official.”

Most departments/units require reference letters in support of an application. Download the reference letter form. Note that some Departments may require completion of their own forms. Please contact the Department directly regarding this.

It should be noted that the commission of application fraud or misconduct may result in acceptance and registration being withdrawn and the applicant disqualified from consideration, not only in the year of application, but, in all subsequent sessions.
