What you will need

• ✓ No application required

About this award

You can receive a $1,000 payment. There are 5 awards available in total. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are admitted to the University of Regina under the Mature admission category for the upcoming Fall semester. No application is required. Ask University of Regina how and when recipients are told — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask University of Regina how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask University of Regina 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 University of Regina whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• RegistrationAvoid registering for fewer than 9 credits. Instead, ensure your Fall course load meets the minimum requirement so you don't lose your eligibility. Stay registered in at least 9 credit hours for the whole Fall semester, not just at the start.
• SupportAvoid assuming you are automatically categorized as a mature student. Instead, confirm with the admissions office that your status is officially marked as "Mature" based on your age or educational history. Contact your admissions officer to verify this label.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the semester starts to check your award status. Instead, reach out to the University of Regina financial aid office early to see if you were selected. This helps you budget for your textbooks and fees.
• RealismAvoid relying solely on this award for your entire tuition. Instead, look for other adult learner grants and bursaries at the university. Create a list of at least three other funding sources to ensure your costs are covered.
