About this award

You can receive $2,000.00. 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 Moose Jaw campus who is facing financial challenges while pursuing your technical or business education. 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 entirely on financial need, which carries a 100% weighting in the decision. There is only 1 award available, so it is highly competitive. Ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how they verify financial documents and how many students typically apply. 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.
