This is your chance to make a difference on campus!   U of S students create an energetic community where diverse personalities and interests thrive—inside and outside the classroom.

The Government of Saskatchewan offers various financial supports for students. It also provides leadership and funding to post-secondary institutions to ensure they meet labour market needs, are accountable, and are effectively governed.

The Ministry of Advanced Education provides a multi-year funding strategy to the University of Saskatchewan. They offer several types of financial support, including student loans, grants, and scholarships. Additionally, the Ministry supports the Healthy Campus Saskatchewan community and its network of post-secondary partners in promoting student mental health and wellbeing.
