About this award

You can receive $2,500.00. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a student at the Prince Albert campus who needs financial support to continue your studies. You must apply by October 31, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection is based on a weighted system: 75% of the decision is based on your financial need and 25% is based on your 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 full-time in any program at the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Prince Albert campus. A preference will be given to students of self-declared Indigenous ancestry, which includes Metis, Status/Treaty Indian, Non-status Indian, and Inuit.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid providing vague descriptions of your expenses. Instead, list your specific monthly costs and gaps in funding. Gather your latest bank statements and tuition invoices to prove your need.
• SupportAvoid using a generic character reference. Instead, ask a teacher or campus advisor who knows your financial struggle to write your letter. Ensure they mention your persistence in your studies despite challenges.
• StrategyAvoid leaving the General Application incomplete. Instead, fill out every optional field in the Saskatchewan Polytechnic awards portal. Since you are automatically considered, a complete profile is your only way to be seen.
• RealismAvoid assuming this award is guaranteed because you meet the preferences. Instead, remember that only 1 award is available for the entire campus. Apply for several other bursaries at the same time to increase your chances.
