About this award
Get a bursary based on the number of your dependent children — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.
The provider does not post a fixed dollar amount because the payment depends on how many children you support. Your specific amount is determined by dividing the total funds by the number of student dependents, meaning your award increases in direct correlation to the number of your dependents. 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 at the University of Saskatchewan who is balancing your education while raising dependent children. You can apply in each term. The deadlines are August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check the University of Saskatchewan's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. Selection criteria aren't published — ask the University of Saskatchewan how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Approximately 45% of the total funds will be disbursed in the fall term and 55% will be distributed in the winter term. Ask the University of Saskatchewan during your application 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 the University of Saskatchewan whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
