The Government of Saskatchewan has announced that it is investing $3M in the Saskatchewan Innovation and Opportunity Scholarship program. The investment will be matched by the scholarship funds raised by postsecondary institutions. The scholarships target areas in which students are doing innovative work, such as mining, energy, biotechnology, agriculture, environment, engineering, medicine, and science programs. “We appreciate the Government of Saskatchewan’s continued support for our students to pursue research and academic programs that are vital to the province and beyond,” said University of Saskatchewan President Dr Peter Stoicheff. “Initiatives like this strengthen our partnership, and together we can advance Saskatchewan’s innovation agenda to benefit the citizens of the province.”
