We are striving to inspire students to succeed by investing in tomorrow’s thinkers and creators. We are seeking the critical philanthropic support needed to reach new levels of excellence in each of these areas for the Department of Anthropology.

Undergraduate Student Awards
We are seeking philanthropic support to increase the number of scholarships and bursaries available to support our undergraduate students.

Together, we will create need-based bursaries to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to realize their full potential. Removing financial obstacles will provide access to a USask education for scores of students who could otherwise not afford to attend.

New merit-based scholarships will reward academic achievement. Scholarships are our best opportunity to recruit the most promising students who will go on to change the world. Only you can make this happen.

Graduate Research Fellowships
Graduate students are researchers and scholars with the skills to make major contributions to their fields. Graduate fellowships allow us to attract the most promising students whose research will change the world. Your support will expand our graduate research fellowships and help train the next generation of researchers, teachers, innovators and thought leaders.

Experiential Learning
Field schools are one of the most important experiential learning tools for our anthropology students at USask. Your support will remove financial barriers to ensure that enhanced experiential learning opportunities will be available for anthropology students.

Visionary Spaces
Lecture halls, laboratories and libraries have been core to our university’s incredible track record of innovation and impact throughout its storied history. Ensuring laboratories are refurbished and adequately equipped is a top priority. Gathering places for people to collectively address the challenges of the future is invaluable. Together, we can reimagine the learning spaces for tomorrow’s students and make them a reality.

I would like to express my gratitude for being chosen to receive the Anthropology Research Grant and to briefly explain how meaningful it is to be supported in my studies. As a mature student that also happens to be a single mother, making my education a priority requires a delicate balancing of obligations. Any miscalculation has widespread consequences which can impact many others in addition to myself. I cannot express how invaluable awards like this are because they allow me to focus on my studies without compromising my ability to fulfill existing responsibilities.

Since deciding to register for post-secondary seven years ago my life has been drastically changed for the better. This is not only because I have improved employment options upon completion, but because school has permitted me to become the best version of myself in all that I do. Financial gifts such as this provide so much more than a seat in class, they provide the foundation for exponential personal growth which has impacts far beyond academia.
