About this award

You can receive approximately $2,000 from this bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a full-time graduate student who needs extra financial support to complete your advanced degree. You must apply by November 16, 2026. When you apply, ask University of Saskatchewan how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, the portal, or phone. Ask University of Saskatchewan how many students usually apply, so you can judge your odds. Ask University of Saskatchewan 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 University of Saskatchewan whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be a full-time graduate student currently registered in your graduate program. This is open to PhD students and Master's students pursuing either a thesis or project-based degree. To qualify, you need an 80% GPA or above and you must demonstrate financial need.
