Affordable University Education

Menno Simons College (MSC) is pleased to offer both entrance scholarships and returning student scholarships to students planning to complete the Conflict Resolution Studies or International Development Studies program. These awards are in addition to the awards that full-time students are automatically eligible for through the University of Winnipeg's Awards and Financial Aid Office.

All awards administered by MSC are composed of funds donated by friends of the College. These include scholarships and bursaries that are typically awarded in the fall according to various criteria. The majority of entrance and returning student scholarships are processed in October of each year. MSC also distributes bursaries that are processed and awarded according to financial need and funds available.

Scholarship amounts range from $300–$1,500 per year.
