Community organizations may also apply to participate in the PRIME X Student Fellowship as a host organization.
Through this opportunity, community organizations can receive support from a student fellow working one full day or multiple half days per week for one year, excluding holidays.
The fellowship is worth $10,000 total. Students receive $8,000, and host organizations receive $2,000, distributed in monthly installments.
To apply as a community organization, you must:
Be an employee of a Manitoban community-based organization, either to support a current student or to be matched with a student.
Be a member of the PRIME Community.
Complete and submit an application between August 4 and September 29, 2026, at 5:00 PM.
Partnerships can be existing or newly formed. PRIME can help connect organizations with the right student through our matchmaking process. If a match already exists, both the student and the community organization must complete separate applications: one submitted as a Student Applicant and the other as a Community Organization Applicant.
