St. Paul's College

St. Paul's College describes itself as the only Catholic higher education institution in Manitoba, established in 1926 and endorsed by the Canadian Province of the Society of Jesus. It sits at 70 Dysart Road on the University of Manitoba's Fort Garry campus in Winnipeg. It is a college inside the University of Manitoba, not a separate degree-granting university and not a separate application destination.

The Oblate Fathers initiated the project in 1916 and the College opened on Selkirk Avenue with six staff and 100 students. It became affiliated with the University of Manitoba on October 27, 1931, the Jesuit Fathers assumed direction in 1933, a 99-year lease for Fort Garry campus land was signed in 1957, and the first buildings opened in fall 1958 with roughly 200 registered students. A formal 1970 agreement governing funding and operations closely integrated the College with the publicly funded provincial university.

St. Paul's membership is declared after a student is already enrolled at the University of Manitoba: the College's own instructions start inside Aurora, the UM student system. The degree, transcript, and academic standing belong to the University of Manitoba faculty a student is admitted to; St. Paul's adds community, facilities, awards, and formation on top of that degree.

The College's own history is explicit: "A larger library and a student residence were part of the original plan, but were never constructed." The Fort Garry buildings comprise classrooms, library, cafeteria, and chapel from 1958, a Science Wing from 1962, an extended cafeteria from 1964, a Jesuit Residence from 1964, and a library with a 200-seat theatre from 1972. The 1964 Jesuit Residence houses Jesuits, not students.

This is the single most common St. Paul's misconception. Unlike St. John's and St. Andrew's colleges on the same campus, St. Paul's offers no housing of any kind.

The Arthur V. Mauro Residence is a University of Manitoba Student Residences building, not a St. Paul's building.

It shares a namesake with the College's Arthur V. Mauro Institute—both honour the same St. Paul's and UM alumnus—but living there confers no College membership, and College membership confers no priority for it.

The University of Manitoba's 2026–2027 undergraduate fee schedule lists two St. Paul's College lines: a membership fee of $7.00 flat per term and an endowment fee of $12.00 flat per term. Together they equal the $19 per term the College's own student-experience page quotes, so the two official pages agree once the endowment line is counted.

This resolves what earlier looked like a conflict between the College page and the fee schedule. The charge is per term while membership is active, not a one-time fee—confirm the amount shown in Aurora for your own term.

Bursaries go to full-time students registered as a St. Paul's College member for the current session, where full-time means registered for at least 60 per cent of a full course load or 18 credit hours. A GPA of 2.50 in the previous fall/winter session or a C+ average is required. Need represents 50 per cent of the criteria; special circumstances and involvement in social, spiritual, and student events make up the rest. Most bursaries close September 30, the Wyrzykowski Family Bursary closes December 8, and the Winter Bursary closes February 27 and is open to Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and international students.

The 50 per cent need weighting is the detail most applicants miss—participation in College life is scored, so declaring membership in September and doing nothing else weakens a bursary file.
