At Saskatchewan Polytechnic, we make every effort to recognize academic success and provide a financial boost to those who need it most. Scholarships, awards and bursaries are a great way to provide you with additional financial support, widen your network and enhance your resume by demonstrating your hard work and dedication to your studies. While you are investing in your future, let us invest in you!
Award recipients are commonly selected on financial need, academic achievement or very often, a combination of the two. Selection criteria can also include volunteer or leadership involvement in your communities and schools.
Thanks to the generosity of donors and alumni, Saskatchewan Polytechnic provides as much as $2 million in student awards every school year.

Social Insurance Number
The Canada Revenue Agency requires all designated education institutions to report each student’s Social Insurance Number (SIN) on the T2022 Tuition and Enrolment Certificate. Your SIN may also be required for awards, scholarships, bursaries, refunding student loans and other student loan purposes.
To provide your SIN, log into mySaskPolytech and enter your SIN using the SIN update link in the Enrolment Services card. You may also submit a Change of Legal Name or Social Insurance Number form (pdf) if you need to update your information.
Sask Polytech does not send any communication, including emails, with a direct link to a SIN form. Reminder emails from Sask Polytech are sent without direct links. If you receive any communication containing a direct link, delete the message and report the message as phishing. Do not open the link or any attachments. Do not reply to the message.
Receiving a student award
If Sask Polytech selects you for a student award, they will email your Sask Polytech email address within 3-4 weeks of the cycle’s closing date. You will also see a notification in the Student Awards Application portal.
In My Applications, you will see a post-acceptance tile under "Needs Attention". Use this tile to submit a thank you message and a photo, which we will forward to the donor on your behalf. You typically have two weeks after notification to access the post-acceptance tile. Alternatively you can send a thank you message and photo to scholarships@saskpolytech.ca.
Once you complete this step, Finance will apply your payment to your student account. If this award creates a surplus on your account, Finance will process an e-transfer or bank transfer within 1-3 weeks.
