STUDENT SUCCESS
Last year, more than 70 students received financial support through the Chancellors’ and President’s First and Best Scholarship Fund and the Centennial Fund.
Your support of these scholarships and bursaries allows USask’s best and brightest students to focus on their studies and reach their full potential as they work to become the leaders of the next generation.
"Being awarded with the Chancellor's Scholarship is truly one of my greatest accomplishments to date. It has allowed me to pursue grad studies in a way that may not have been possible without receiving this award."

SUPPORTING
STUDENTS THROUGH ADVERSITY
In the last year, 20 international students from 16 different countries impacted by turmoil and conflict were supported through the Students at Risk Fund.
The Nasser Family Emergency Student Trust also provides crucial support to students. More than $66,000 in aid was distributed to students facing unexpected crises.
With your support of these critical funds, students facing hardships received the help they needed and were able to continue their studies at USask.
ELEVATING
THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE
With your support, we continue to expand experiential learning opportunities across campus, allowing our students to gain the experience they need to solve the challenges of the future.
The President’s Student Experience Fund helps ensure a high-quality student experience by funding athletics, recreation, scholarships and bursaries, and educational conference opportunities, including study-abroad programs.
This past year, the President's Student Experience Fund supported various initiatives led by the University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union (USSU), the PAWS Your Stress therapy dog program, the Department of Music’s Amati string instruments, and the Timlin Lecture hosted by the Department of Economics and the Department of Political Studies.
“Your investment in USask serves as a catalyst for a more vibrant future for this university, and for our world. On behalf of our students, researchers, faculty, staff, and community partners, I extend my heartfelt appreciation. Thank you.”
