Am I eligible?
You will be considered automatically for a Guaranteed Entrance Scholarship if you are:
-
a current high school (secondary) student who plans to come to USask after you graduate,
-
a student who has already graduated from high school (secondary) but has little or no previous post-secondary education (less than 18 transferable credit units), or
-
beginning your degree program in a direct-entry college (Agriculture and Bioresources, Arts and Science, Engineering, Education, Edwards School of Business, or Kinesiology).
How is my average calculated?
Guaranteed Entrance Scholarships are awarded based on your admission average.
If you apply for admission during your Grade 12 year, your average will be calculated twice – once at the time of admission and again after graduation, once we receive your final, official transcript. Your scholarship amount will be based on your highest average.
If you have already graduated from high school, only your final Grade 12 average will be used.
How will I find out?
If you qualify for a Guaranteed Entrance Scholarship based on your admission average, we will let you know in your admission letter.
If you apply for admission during your Grade 12 year and your average is higher after graduation than it was when you were offered admission, you could be eligible for a higher scholarship amount. If this is the case, we will let you know by email.
When will I receive payment?
Your Guaranteed Entrance Scholarship will be applied directly to your USask student account for payment of tuition and fees by mid-September, provided you:
enrol in a minimum of 18 credit units in the Fall and Winter Terms (September to April) in the year the award is to be taken up*, and
arrange for your final, official high school transcript to be sent directly to USask.
