About this award

You can receive a $250.00 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are managing financial challenges while pursuing your education. You must apply by October 31, 2026. 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. Only one award is available per academic year, so ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how they prioritize applicants among those with similar financial needs. 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 any program at the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Moose Jaw or Regina campus. You must also be of self-declared Indigenous ancestry, which includes Status, Non-Status, Metis, and Inuit identities.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, give clear details about your current expenses and income gaps. List your monthly costs to show why this $250 would help you.
• SupportAvoid leaving your profile incomplete in the awards portal. Instead, ensure every section of your General Application is finished. Double-check that your campus location is correctly set to Moose Jaw or Regina.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to submit. Instead, complete your General Application early since this award considers you automatically based on that form. This ensures you don't miss the October 31 deadline due to technical glitches.
• RealismAvoid expecting this as a guaranteed source of funding. Instead, remember that only one award is given per academic year. Apply for several different bursaries at Saskatchewan Polytechnic to increase your chances of receiving aid.
