The Government of Saskatchewan has opened applications for the Saskatchewan Student Aid program for the 2026-27 academic year.
The announcement, made on June 25, 2026, by the Government of Saskatchewan, details that the program is expected to assist over 24,000 students. Total financial aid contributions are projected to exceed $119.3 million. This funding package includes a combination of loans, grants, and scholarships designed to support students in financing their post-secondary education.
Several components make up the financial assistance. Students can apply for provincial loans and grants, which are disbursed through the Saskatchewan Student Aid program. These funds are intended to cover educational costs, including tuition, fees, and living expenses.
Automatic consideration for specific scholarships is also part of the program. All Saskatchewan Grade 12 graduates receive automatic consideration for the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship. This scholarship can provide up to $3,000 in financial support. Eligibility for this scholarship is tied to Grade 12 graduation within the province.
To access student aid, applicants must complete an online application form. The application process requires submission of personal and financial information to determine eligibility and assess the level of support required. Detailed instructions and application portals are available through the official Saskatchewan government website.
This initiative by the Government of Saskatchewan aims to make post-secondary education more accessible and affordable for residents of the province by providing significant financial assistance.
