Your support makes a world of difference for students like Amber

Thank you to everyone who made #GivingTuesday such a success. Thanks to 45 donors, we raised over $12,000 that will support the Student Emergency Fund!

Emergency funding requests have increased by over 33 per cent this year, and more than 320 students at Sask Polytech have accessed critical financial support to date. The Student Emergency Fund provides students facing unexpected economic hardships with temporary financial assistance for necessities —  food, heating bills, rent, childcare, bus passes and utilities —  all essential for them to stay in school.

Your support means a world of difference for students like Amber:

I am a single mother…and rely on my car to get me to and from school and practicum. My car recently broke down…I hope that this bursary can help us to pay for the repairs.

It's the Christmas season and I am very grateful for this bursary to help my six-year-old daughter to have a great Christmas, and for us to have food in our fridge through the winter months is very important.

Thank you so much for this opportunity. Read full story...
