About this award

You can receive a $1,000.00 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a student facing financial challenges while studying in the computing and digital arts fields. You must apply by October 31, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection is based on financial need, which carries a 100% weighting. There is only 1 award available, so ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how they evaluate financial need to understand 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

You must be enrolled full-time in any eligible program within the School of Computing and Digital Innovation. This award is based entirely on your demonstrated financial need.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, give specific details about your monthly expenses and income gaps. List your exact costs for rent, food, and books.
• SupportAvoid submitting your application without double-checking your portal profile. Instead, ensure your financial profile is fully updated in the system. Check that your current income reflects your latest situation.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to complete your general application. Instead, submit your General Application early since this bursary considers you automatically based on that form. Complete every optional field to show the full picture of your need.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed fund since only 1 award is available. Instead, apply for multiple bursaries within the School of Computing and Digital Innovation. Diversify your applications to increase your chances of receiving support.
