Access Programs

These programs sponsor university studies at the degree level to persons who have traditionally not had the opportunity for such experience because of social, economic, cultural reasons or lack of formal education. Applicants must be residents of Manitoba. Preferences will be given to persons who are Aboriginal (Status, Non-Status, Metis, Inuit). Sponsorship includes academic and personal support and may include some financial assistance. These programs are funded by Manitoba Education and Training, Advanced Education & Skills Training Division.

Please note: These programs are not available through Distance Education.

“The Access Program gives you opportunities you don’t get at home. These opportunities are easy to use, there is the support and care there for you, especially in the tough times.”
