At Saskatchewan Polytechnic, we recognize academic success and provide a financial boost to those who need it most. Scholarships, awards and bursaries are a great way to get additional financial support, build your network and strengthen your resume by showcasing your hard work and dedication. While you are investing in your future, let us invest in you!
Recipients are often selected based on financial need, academic achievement, or both. Other selection criteria may include volunteer work or leadership in your school or community.
Thanks to generous donors and alumni, Sask Polytech awards up to $2 million to students each year.

Additional information
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.
Completing a general application each time you apply
Your general application will remain in effect for the academic year. If your situation changes, update your general application accordingly during an open application period. Please verify your general application to ensure your information remains current.
We recommend that you log into the system at least once during each application cycle to review any recommended opportunities. You may miss out on an opportunity if you do not check back periodically.
Emergency bursaries
Sask Polytech has emergency bursaries available to assist students requiring temporary and urgent financial assistance at a critical time. If you are in need, see a student counsellor or an Indigenous student advisor to discuss your needs.
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.
