What St. Paul's College actually is

Current institutional status · Published for this period

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.

Federation timeline with the University of Manitoba

Historical record · Published for this period

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.

College governance is separate from UM governance

Current governance · Published for this period

An 18-person Board of Governors directs the College and the Archbishop of Winnipeg serves as Chancellor. That is College governance—it does not replace the University of Manitoba Senate and Board of Governors, which set the admission rules, degree regulations, and tuition that actually apply to a student's program.

Membership is a post-enrolment step, not an admission

Current process · Published for this period

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.

St. Paul's College has never had a student residence

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.

2026–2027 award cycle · Latest published information; newer cycle not yet confirmed

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.

Current opportunity · Published for this period

NEBAL offers the most concrete hands-on research route the College controls: students can join field schools at excavation sites, particularly Tel Burna in Israel, or gain laboratory experience curating and analysing collections. The published route is to contact co-directors Dr. Tina Jongsma-Greenfield or Dr. Haskel Greenfield directly rather than to apply through a portal.

No cost, credit value, term length, or selection criteria for the field school is published on the College page—ask before budgeting for travel.
