About this award

You can receive a $2,000.00 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a nursing student who needs financial support to continue your studies. You must apply by October 31, 2026. When you apply, ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection is based entirely on financial need, which carries a 100% weighting. There is only 1 award available. Selection criteria aren't published otherwise — ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how they verify financial need 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

You must be enrolled full-time in Year 2 of the Saskatchewan Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree program at Saskatchewan Polytechnic Regina or Saskatoon campuses.

Tips for applying

• GoalsAvoid writing a generic statement about wanting to be a nurse. Instead, outline your specific short and long-term career goals and give concrete examples of how you have shown your commitment to the field. Describe a specific moment where you helped a patient or learned a critical skill.
• StrategyAvoid ignoring the financial need aspect of the application. Instead, be very clear and detailed about your financial situation in the portal. Since financial need is 100% of the weighting, this is the most important part of your application.
• RealismAvoid assuming you will win because you meet the basic requirements. Instead, remember that only 1 award is available for the entire program across two campuses. Apply for other bursaries at the same time to increase your chances of getting funding.
