Financial Aid

Tuition & Fees

At CMU, every effort is made to make your education financially possible.

Each year, at least 50% of our student body receives financial aid. Scholarships, awards, and bursaries are available for undergraduate and graduate students.

Our Financial Aid Office is willing to answer questions or meet with you to discuss money matters.

A full-time (24 credit hours) undergraduate Canadian student living in the dorm and using the full meal plan can expect to pay about $15,000 (CAD) for one year of studies at CMU.

A full-time (24 credit hours) undergraduate international student living in the dorm, using the full meal plan, and paying for required health insurance fees can expect to pay about $21,000 (CAD) for one year of studies at CMU.

The outline below gives a general idea of the breakdown in costs for one year, as a full-time (24 credit hours) Canadian student. International fees and graduate fees may differ.

How much your education at CMU will cost depends on your own specific situation. The variables include:

  • Course load: The number of classes and type of classes can alter the costs of tuition, books, and supplies.
  • Living arrangements: The cost of residence or of rent, groceries, and monthly bills must be factored in. (The cost of renting apartments can be shared with roommates.)
  • Accommodations: CMU has various accommodation options for you, ranging from double and single occupancy dorms to apartments. See the above listing of all on-campus housing prices. Click here for more information about the advantages of living on campus at CMU.
  • Transportation: Chances are you're going to leave campus for events and concerts. Set money aside for getting around Winnipeg and traveling home. (e.g. a semester e-pass is currently $314.15 per semester for post-secondary students.)
  • Books: The cost of books will vary depending on whether you buy new or used books.
  • Entertainment: Money may be tight, but you'll want to allow yourself some funds to see the latest movie, go for coffee with friends, go to the symphony, see a play, watch a hockey, baseball or football game, or eat at a restaurant.

See the First-Year Cost Calculator (2024/25), a tool that can help you estimate and budget your costs.
