About this award

You can receive a $500.00 scholarship. This is a grant, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a dedicated student in your second year of early childhood education training who has maintained a strong academic record. You must apply by October 31, 2026. When you apply, ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, the portal, or phone. Winners are chosen based on academic achievement, which makes up 100% of the scoring. There are 2 awards available in total, and selection criteria aren't published — ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how they rank academic achievement 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 the Early Childhood Education Diploma Program, Year 2 at Saskatchewan Polytechnic Regina or Moose Jaw Campus. At least one scholarship will be awarded to a student from the Regina campus.

Tips for applying

• SupportAvoid submitting your general application without reviewing it for errors. Instead, ask a campus advisor at the Regina or Moose Jaw campus to look over your profile. This ensures no technical gaps prevent you from being automatically considered.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the October 31 deadline to complete your profile. Instead, submit your General Application early. Since you are automatically considered, having a complete and polished profile is your only way to compete.
• RealismAvoid assuming you will win just because you meet the criteria. Instead, remember there are only 2 awards available for both campuses. Focus on maintaining your high academic standing while exploring other bursaries at Saskatchewan Polytechnic.
