Applied Research Student Scholarships

Applied Research Student Scholarships

Applied Research Scholarships of $1,000 each are available to eligible students. These awards are intended to provide an opportunity for Sask Polytech students to engage in applied research partnerships with industry and the community. Engaging in applied research projects that solve every day problems allows our students and their faculty supervisors to successfully address current industry needs and make a real difference in their communities and in their fields of study.

If you need assistance writing your research plan and project summary, writing support is available through Learning Services.

Selection criteria

Selection will be based on:

  • Academic achievement.
  • Nature and applicability of the research project (e.g. innovation, commercialization, entrepreneurial, sustainable, etc.).

Scholarships

Scholarships will be awarded upon completion and participation at the annual Applied Research Student Showcase. The supervisor will be required to complete and sign a mid-project check-in stating that the project has begun and is on track for completion as anticipated.

  • A short final report from the student will need to be submitted prior to the release of the final payment.
  • Failure to complete the project (including submitting the required reports and presenting the work at the annual showcase), will result in the final payment being withheld.

Sask Polytech reserves the right to recover any paid out funds on projects not started or not making reasonable progress by the mid-term check in.
