About this award

You can receive a $500.00 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are training to become a construction electrician and are managing your finances while keeping up your grades. You must apply by June 15, 2027. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection is based on a 50% weighting for financial need and a 50% weighting for academic achievement. There is only 1 award available, so ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic 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

You must be enrolled in the Construction Electrician Apprenticeship program, at any level, at the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Moose Jaw campus.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing vague statements about your expenses. Instead, give a clear breakdown of your monthly costs and income. List your specific tuition and living expenses to show why you need the funds.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Instead, ensure every section of the Saskatchewan Polytechnic awards portal is finished. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, a complete profile is your only way to enter the running.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed fund. Instead, remember that only 1 award is available for the entire campus program. Keep looking for other bursaries to ensure you have enough coverage for your schooling.
