About this award

You can receive a $2,000.00 award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a dedicated apprentice balancing your technical training with financial challenges while pursuing your electrical trade. You must apply by June 15, 2027. When you apply, ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, the portal, or phone. Selection is based on two equal factors: 50% weighting is given to your academic achievement (based on your marks from the Level 3 Apprenticeship program) and 50% weighting is given to your financial need. There is only 1 award available, so ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how they judge the final winner among the applicants. Ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Saskatchewan Polytechnic whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be enrolled full-time in the Construction Electrician Apprenticeship program, Level 3 at Saskatchewan Polytechnic Moose Jaw or Prince Albert Campus.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing vague statements about your expenses. Instead, give a clear breakdown of your monthly costs and income. List your specific rent, food, and tool costs to show exactly why you need the funds.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, ensure every section regarding your finances and grades is fully updated.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed fund. Because there is only 1 award available for the qualifying campuses, treat this as a bonus rather than a primary source of tuition funding.
