For students living in Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan Student Aid offers yearly Student Loan and Grant applications, which provide financial assistance for post-secondary students through grants and repayable loans. The application process for student loans is reasonably straightforward and can be completed on their website. You will be informed whether you are eligible for grants or financial aid, as this depends on your financial need (e.g., students with lower household incomes). Students are encouraged to apply for assistance from the government early during their financial aid application process. For more information on applying, eligibility, and managing student loans, see the Saskatchewan Student Aid Application for helpful videos. On this website, you can also see the yearly Student Aid Handbook, which covers scholarships, grants, loans, and other important considerations for funding your post-secondary education.
