Scholarships and Bursaries
The Canadian Federation of University Women/Saskatoon Inc. has been offering scholarships to female students at the University of Saskatchewan since 1940. Over $300,000 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 students in any field of study who have maintained an average of 75% or higher. The awards are given only to full-time students at the University of Saskatchewan. Preference is given to students working on their first degree. The application deadline date for Undergraduate Scholarships is May 31. 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 towards women completing their degrees. They will be awarded to female 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.
