Sponsorship

Your sponsor must complete, sign, and submit the Student Sponsorship Application Form (PDF). This form authorizes MITT to invoice the sponsor for your tuition and fees. Other forms or letters will not be accepted as sponsorship authorization.

Submission deadlines:

• If the sponsor is paying your admission deposit: Submit the form by the admission deposit deadline indicated in your offer of admission.
• If the sponsor is not paying the admission deposit: Submit the form by the proof of funding deadline for your program intake.

Where to submit:

• Mail:
  Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology
  130 Henlow Bay
  Winnipeg, MB R3Y 1G4
• Email: admissions@mitt.ca

Important notes:

• Acceptance of third-party billing is at the discretion of MITT
• If you’re enrolled in a two-year program, your sponsor must submit a signed and completed Student Sponsorship Application form each year prior to the proof of funding deadline date.

MITT cannot invoice sponsors for textbook or supply costs.

What to do:

• Provide your sponsor with your program’s supply list and textbook information from the Program Information.
• If textbooks are available at the University of Winnipeg Bookstore, contact the U of W Bookstore (Follett Canada) for sponsorship details.

All supply costs are approximate. If your sponsor will not cover these costs, they are your responsibility.

• Application fee: MITT cannot invoice sponsors for application fees. These must be paid in full when you submit your application.
• Admission deposit fee: MITT can invoice your sponsor for the admission deposit fee, provided the Student Sponsorship Application Form (PDF) is submitted by the admission deposit deadline.

If the form is not submitted on time, you must pay the admission deposit yourself to secure your program seat.

Invoices are sent to sponsors 10 days after the proof of funding deadline. Payment due dates are based on your program’s start date:

• Fall: October
• Winter: February
• Spring: June

As a sponsored student at MITT, you are responsible for ensuring that your sponsorship arrangements and personal obligations are managed on time. Follow these key guidelines to stay on track:

1. Understand MITT policies
   • Familiarize yourself with MITT’s Withdrawal and Refund policies.
   • Review MITT’s academic policies to ensure compliance.
2. Submit sponsorship documents
   • Ensure your sponsor submits the Student Sponsorship Application Form (PDF) by the admission deposit deadline noted in your offer of admission.
   • If you are paying the admission deposit, submit the form by the proof of funding deadline.
3. Handle delayed sponsorship funding
   • If funding arrangements take time, you can request an admission deferral to the next available intake.
   • Submit your deferral request before the fee payment deadline to transfer your admission deposit to the next intake.
4. Plan for late or partial payments
5. Monitor your financial standing
   • Regularly check your Student Portal account to confirm your account is in good standing.
   • If your sponsor only partially covers tuition, ensure you pay any outstanding balance or arrange a payment plan.
6. Manage refunds
   • If a sponsor payment creates a credit balance, you can request a refund via the Refund Form or by emailing finance@mitt.ca.
7. Protect your information
   • MITT requires your written consent to share your personal or academic details with your sponsor to comply with the Manitoba Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FIPPA).
   • It is the student’s responsibility to provide grades or attendance to the sponsor if the sponsor requires that information.
   • Complete a Consent to Release Student Information form to allow MITT to communicate with your sponsor.
8. Sponsor-incurred charges
   • Charges for sponsor-required documents must be paid by you and will not be billed to the sponsor.

By staying proactive and organized, you can ensure a smooth academic journey as a sponsored student at MITT. For further assistance, visit Student Services or contact the Finance team at finance@mitt.ca.
