About this award

You can receive a $2,000.00 award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a first-year student specializing in bioscience technology who also has a demonstrated financial need. 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 a 50% weighting for academic achievement and a 50% weighting for financial need. There is only 1 award available per academic year, so ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can 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 enrolled full-time in the BioScience Technology Diploma program, Year 1 at the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Saskatoon campus.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, use specific numbers to show why you need this funding. List your monthly expenses and any gaps in your tuition coverage.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, ensure every section is filled out thoroughly before the October 31, 2026 deadline.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed fund. Because there is only 1 award available per academic year, you should apply for several other bursaries at Saskatchewan Polytechnic to diversify your options.
