About this award

You can receive approximately $5,000. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a postgraduate student who plans to dedicate your career to supporting children with disabilities. 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, phone, or through the awards portal. Selection is based on your intent to work with disabled children, having a GPA (Grade Point Average — the average of all your final grades) of 75% or higher, and demonstrating financial need. Selection criteria aren't published in detail — ask University of Saskatchewan how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive 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 Master's student (pursuing either a thesis or project-based degree) or a PhD student. You must plan to work with children who are disabled in one of these roles: teacher, physiotherapist, speech therapist, doctor, or nurse. You also need a GPA (Grade Point Average) of 75% or higher and demonstrated financial need.

Tips for applying

• StrategyAvoid leaving any gaps in your financial profile. Instead, ensure you have completed every single financial question in the General Application. Double-check your portal submission before hitting submit, as incomplete financial data will disqualify you.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed award based on your GPA alone. Instead, remember that financial need and your specific career plan for disabled children are weighted heavily. Focus your energy on the supplemental questions to show your genuine intent.
