About Southeast College Student Awards

There are many student awards available to those enrolled at Southeast College. In fact, entrance scholarships totaling

$65,000 have already been distributed to all full-time post-secondary students, while over $100,000 in scholarships and

bursaries will be awarded to current students in the spring of 2018 at Southeast College’s Industry-Education Luncheons.

Scholarships and bursaries are made possible through the generosity of many individuals, employers, organizations, and

community groups within southeast Saskatchewan who value education and continuous learning. The Government of

Saskatchewan also contributes a significant amount of funding through the Saskatchewan Innovation & Opportunity

Scholarship Program (www.gov.sk.ca), which matches the funds raised by post-secondary institutions through private

sector and community-based partners.
