You will automatically be considered for a Guaranteed Entrance Scholarship when you apply for admission. These scholarships recognize your academic achievements and are awarded based on your admission average.
| Your best average | Scholarship value |
| 95%+ | $3,000 |
| 93% to 94.9% | $2,000 |
| 90% to 92.9% | $1,000 |
| 85% to 89.9% | $500 |
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 U of S student account for payment of tuition and fees by mid-September, provided you:
*If you do not meet the credit requirement in your first year, you may still receive your award the following year, provided you enrol in 18 credit units or more during the Fall and Winter Terms (September-April) and have been continuously registered in U of S classes. In this case, you must notify Student Finance and Awards when the 18 credit unit requirement will be met to request payment of the scholarship.
What if I am offered other scholarships or bursaries?
You can receive payment of one Guaranteed Entrance Scholarship and one Best and Brightest Scholarship, Competitive Entrance Award or Excellence Award from the USask.
You can also receive additional awards administered at the college/department level or from external sources; these will not affect your U of S entrance awards.
You will be considered automatically for a Guaranteed Entrance Scholarship if you are:
