The Government of Manitoba has provided funds to ensure that Manitoba’s best students continue education at home, to foster research that leads to economic growth and to attract excellent students to study in Manitoba. These funds are used to offer the Manitoba Graduate Scholarship (MGS).
The University of Manitoba Graduate Fellowship (UMGF) competition is used to determine the recipients of the MGS. Highly ranked new Master’s UMGF recipients may be upgraded to the MGS for Master’s students. Highly ranked new PhD UMGF recipients may be eligible to receive a PhD MGS top up award which can be held along with the UMGF. The MGS upgrades and MGS top ups will be offered in July of each year. Only students who have received a UMGF offer as of June 30 will be included in the supplemental offers and upgrades.
