The fund will be used to provide renewable entrance scholarships for students graduating from St. John’s High School, Sisler High School, and Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute. Each student must: (1) be enrolled full time (minimum 80% course load) in either the Faculty of Engineering, the I.H. Asper School of Business, the Faculty of Science, or University 1 at the University of Manitoba; (2) have achieved a minimum average of 85% on the best five courses appearing on the list of acceptable courses for the University of Manitoba General Entrance Scholarship Program; (3) have demonstrated a willingness to encourage students from their high school to pursue post-secondary education; (4) be committed to participating in the Walter and Maria Schroeder Mentorship Program. Preference will be given to students who are Canadian Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, Inuit). The scholarship is renewable at the value initially offered in the second, third, and fourth year of study at the University of Manitoba provided that the recipients: (1) continue to enroll full-time (minimum 80% course load) in the next ensuing year of study in either the Faculty of Engineering, the I.H.
