About this award

You can receive $2,500. There are 2 awards available. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you were admitted to the University of Regina under the mature admission category and are pursuing a degree in a specific field of study. You must apply by October 5, 2026. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back from the University of Regina via email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask University of Regina how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask University of Regina 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 University of Regina whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be an undergraduate student at the University of Regina admitted under the mature admission category. You must have lived in Saskatchewan for 12 consecutive months preceding the date of your application. You must be pursuing an undergraduate degree in Business Administration, Engineering, Science (specifically Computer Science or Geology), or Arts (specifically Economics, English, Journalism, News Media and Communications, Political Science, or Resource and Environmental Studies). Academic and enrollment requirements include having completed a minimum of 23 credit hours and maintaining a minimum cumulative grade point average of 70%. You must also be registered and remain registered in a minimum of 9 credit hours in the semester the award is presented. A preference will be given to students who have demonstrated on-going volunteerism.

Tips for applying

• VolunteerismAvoid simply mentioning that you volunteer. Instead, provide specific examples of your on-going community work to match the preference for volunteerism. List the organization, your role, and the total hours you contributed.
• SupportAvoid submitting a generic application. Instead, ensure your transcripts clearly show you have completed at least 23 credit hours. Double-check that your cumulative GPA is at or above 70% before hitting submit.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to navigate the system. Instead, log in to SAMS (the Student Awards Management System — the university's online portal for managing all scholarship applications) early to ensure your profile is complete.
• RealismAvoid overlooking the funding cap. Instead, calculate the total value of all other bursaries and scholarships you currently hold. If that total is near or above $8,000, confirm with the Student Awards and Financial Aid Office whether you can still hold this award.
