About this award

You can receive a $1,000.00 grant. As a grant, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing a nursing degree at the Regina campus. You must apply by October 31, 2026. When you apply, ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or through the awards portal. One award is available. Selection is based on a 50% weighting for your academic achievement and a 50% weighting for your financial need. Since you are automatically considered through the General Application, ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how they verify these details to choose the winner. Ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, while others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you are counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Saskatchewan Polytechnic whether it is a one-time award or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing vague statements about needing money. Instead, give specific examples of your current costs and gaps in your funding. List your monthly expenses clearly.
• Academic AchievementAvoid just listing your grades. Instead, highlight any specific academic milestones or improvements you have made in your nursing coursework. Mention any honors or certificates you earned.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to fill out the General Application. Instead, complete your profile in the Saskatchewan Polytechnic awards portal early so you are automatically entered for this and other awards. Double-check that your Indigenous ancestry is correctly self-declared in your profile.
• RealismAvoid assuming this award is guaranteed since only one is available. Instead, treat this as a helpful top-up and continue searching for other nursing bursaries. Apply for every award that matches your identity and program.
