About this award

You can receive a $1,000.00 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing a career in the trades and have significant financial need. You must apply by October 31, 2026. When you apply, ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or through the awards portal. Selection is based entirely on financial need, which carries a 100% weighting. There is only 1 award available, so ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how they prioritize applicants when multiple people show similar levels of need. Ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, while others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you are counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Saskatchewan Polytechnic whether it is a one-time award or if you can apply again.

You must also be a student of self-declared Indigenous ancestry, which includes Metis, Status/Treaty Indian, Non-Status Indian, and Inuit. Selection is based on financial need (100% weighting).

• Financial NeedAvoid providing vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, give specific details about your monthly expenses and income gaps. List every cost that makes attending school difficult.
• SupportAvoid submitting your application without double-checking your program details. Instead, confirm your full-time status with the registrar's office. Ensure your enrollment record matches the program requirements exactly.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to fill out your general profile. Instead, complete every section of the Saskatchewan Polytechnic General Application thoroughly. Since you are automatically considered, a complete profile is your only way to be seen.
