Offered by University of Winnipeg
About this scholarship
The University of Winnipeg President's Scholarship for World Leaders is an application-required entrance award for international students entering a UWinnipeg program for the first time. For undergraduate students in the 2026-27 listing, the award value is CAD $5,000, with six undergraduate awards shown across the eligible term starts. It is also offered in other divisions, including graduate, Collegiate, and PACE, but this entry records the undergraduate route. Applicants must be international students entering their first program at the university, have the equivalent of a Canadian 80% grade average based on Grade 12 academic courses used for admission, demonstrate exceptional leadership qualities, and complete an admission application by the scholarship deadline. The scholarship application requires a valid UWinnipeg student number, a personal statement, resume or CV, and two reference letters. For the current listed cycle, Winter 2027 undergraduate applicants have an October 1, 2026 deadline, while earlier Spring and Fall 2026 deadlines have passed. The award is partial funding because it is a one-time CAD $5,000 scholarship and does not cover full tuition, housing, meals, insurance, books, travel, or personal expenses.
