Saskatchewan Student Aid combines federal and provincial funding assessed through a single application:

- Saskatchewan Student Loan: Provincial loan portion
- Canada Student Grant: Up to $4,200/year non-repayable (assessed automatically)
- Saskatchewan Grant for Full-Time Students: Up to $700/year additional provincial grant
- Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship: $500/year for up to 4 years for SK high school graduates
The Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship is a $500/year award available to graduates of Saskatchewan high schools enrolled at eligible post-secondary institutions. It can be received for up to four years of study — that's $2,000 total over a four-year degree.
- Graduated from a Saskatchewan high school
- Enrolled at an eligible post-secondary institution (in Saskatchewan or elsewhere in Canada)
- Available for up to 4 years of study ($2,000 total)
- Can be combined with all other student aid programs
Practical advice for Saskatchewan students applying for student aid:
- Apply at least 6 weeks before your program starts — processing takes time
- The Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship may require verification of your SK high school graduation — keep your transcript accessible
- Check University of Saskatchewan and University of Regina for institutional awards on top of provincial aid
- If you're studying outside Saskatchewan, you can still use Saskatchewan Student Aid at any designated institution in Canada
