We will pay up to $400 of your total travel cost if you travel by plane, bus, or train to Winnipeg from within Canada. If you are travelling from the USA, we will pay up to $500 CAD of your total travel cost. We do not offer travel subsidies for travel from outside Canada or the USA.
If you live more than 150km outside of Winnipeg and drive here, we'll reimburse you for gas at $0.40/km up to the same limits—$400 from within Canada or $500 CAD from the USA.
Half of the total cost is paid right after your visit (up to $200) and the remaining half will be applied towards your tuition costs when you enroll at CMU (up to $200).
Although we welcome and encourage family members (e.g., parents, siblings) to join you in coming to visit, we do not reimburse any travel costs for family members or other chaperones. We will, however, cover the cost of five meals and two nights of on-campus accommodations for all guests from outside Winnipeg, including prospective students, family members, and chaperones.
If you use AirMiles or Reward dollars to pay for flights, the "up to $400" is only calculated using the amount of cash you actually paid. We do not reimburse according to the value of the ticket in these cases.
To qualify for a travel subsidy, your visit must be pre-arranged with CMU Admissions. You will be required to submit receipts, so hang on to them! Your receipts must be submitted within two weeks of the event date to receive a travel subsidy.
If you are attending a Discover Day or Discover Weekend, you must participate in all scheduled activities to receive a travel subsidy.
All information entered below will be used to set up an itinerary and does not confirm your stay. Please do not book airfare or travel tickets until a member of the CMU Admissions team has reached out to you to confirm your stay.
