Scholarship Description: Beginning with the 2009/2010 academic year the UMGF will be further
devolved to the Unit level. A unit is typically a Department but in the case of
non-departmentalized faculties (e.g., Kinesology and Recreation Management,
Law, Music, Pharmacy, and Social Work) can refer to a faculty, or even a
program (e.g., Applied Health, Disability Studies Peace and Conflict Studies).
UMGFs are being further devolved to the Unit level to increase the flexibility
to whom and when these scholarships are awarded. The UMGF is used to
determine the recipients of the listed supplemental awards, which are meant to
be held with the UMGF. The same process is used to upgrade new Master’s UMGF
recipients to the Manitoba Graduate Scholarship for Master’s students. These
supplemental award offers and MGS upgrades will occur in July of each year.
Only students who have received an offer as of July will be included in the
supplemental offers and upgrades. Awards which are paid on a biweekly
basis, such as the UMGF, MGS or Tricouncil awards, are NOT automatically
applied to your tuition. You are responsible for paying your own tuition.
