About this award

The Education and Training Incentive (ETI) is Saskatchewan's monthly top-up for low-income adult learners enrolled in approved training — adult basic education, workforce development, or skills training programs. The province created it to remove a specific barrier: adult learners on Saskatchewan Income Support (SIS) or Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) often have to choose between staying enrolled and covering household costs, and ETI is the small but steady cash that helps them stay in the classroom. The amount is tiered by family size. If you are a single adult with no dependents, you receive $50 per month while you are training. A one-child family receives $100 per month. A family with two or more children receives $200 per month. The money is meant to cover the everyday costs that don't fit anywhere else — extra bus fare, lunch money, a calculator, a USB drive — that can quietly derail a training spell. ETI is paid monthly for as long as you stay enrolled and meet the conditions: at least 90% attendance plus satisfactory academic progress. So it is renewable in spirit (paid every month you remain enrolled) but tied to your active program, not awarded as a lump sum. To apply, contact your training provider — they help you enrol in SIS or SAID if you are not already on it, and then loop in ETI. If you already receive SIS or SAID, contact your Planning and Support Specialist directly.
