About this award

You can receive a $500.00 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a returning adult learner who has successfully finished the Adult 12 program at the Prince Albert campus. You must apply by February 15, 2027. When you apply, ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection is based entirely on financial need, which carries a 100% weighting. There is only 1 award available, so ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how they prioritize applicants when multiple people show similar financial need. 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

To qualify, you must be enrolled full-time in any Applied Certificate, Certificate or Diploma program at least 17 weeks in length at any Saskatchewan Polytechnic campus. You must have also attended and completed the Adult 12 program at the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Prince Albert campus. Selection is based on demonstrated financial need.
