Scholarships and Bursaries
The Canadian Federation of University Women Saskatoon Inc. has been offering scholarships to female-identifying students at the University of Saskatchewan since 1940. Over $500,000 has been awarded since the program's inception. Funding in support of these scholarships comes from members, families and friends of members, and bequests. Our largest annual infusion of money comes from our gigantic fall book sale.
We offer up to eleven Undergraduate and six Graduate Scholarships.
Undergraduate Scholarships
Undergraduate scholarships of $2,500 each are offered annually to female-identifying students in any field of study who have maintained an average of 75% or higher. The Florence E. Bennee Fine Arts Scholarship is the exception, with male- and female-identifying students being eligible to apply. The awards will only be made to full-time students in the upcoming Fall academic year at the University of Saskatchewan. Preference is given to students working on their first degree. The application opens approximately 6 weeks prior to the deadline date of May 31 for Undergraduate Scholarships.. Applicants are informed of awards in July or early August.
Graduate Scholarships
Graduate scholarships of $2,500 are offered annually as well as one doctoral scholarship of $5,000. These awards are directed toward women completing their degrees. They will be awarded to female-identifying graduate students who are not recipients of any other substantial scholarship(s). The students must have completed at least one year of course work and have an approved thesis or project proposal. The application opens approximately 4 weeks prior to the deadline date of January 31 for Graduate Scholarships. Applicants are informed of awards in March.
