About this award

You can receive a $1,000.00 grant, which is a scholarship that you do not have to pay back. Since only one award is available, this is a highly limited fund. This is for you if you are a female student pursuing a trade through an apprenticeship. 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. Winners are chosen based on a weighted system: 50% for your academic achievement, 25% for your financial need, and 25% for your personal statement. Selection criteria aren't published beyond these weights, so ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how many applicants they typically receive to judge your odds. 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 a female student enrolled in an eligible WITT (Workplace Integrated Training and Transition — a program that blends classroom learning with on-the-job training) apprenticeship program at any level at Saskatchewan Polytechnic.

Tips for applying

• Personal StatementAvoid writing a generic summary of your grades. Instead, describe the specific circumstances in your life that create a financial need for this money and share your educational goals. Write about a time your strengths helped you overcome a challenge in your training.
• StrategyAvoid ignoring the weighting of the award. Instead, spend equal effort on your personal statement as you do on proving your financial need, since both are worth 25% of your score. Ensure your statement clearly links your current life situation to your need for funding.
