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 Geography and Planning.

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

Some of the most important lessons at university happen outside the classroom. Students learn and grow from unforgettable experiences. Whether it be working on cutting-edge research with their professors, to being in community getting hands-on training with local employers or doing community-based research, to living and studying in a different culture. Donors will give more students the chance to make experiential learning part of their education, no matter their financial means.

I am in the final year of my undergraduate degree and believe I have hit some of the usual roadblocks: what should I do next? Is what I'm studying fulfilling? What will my life look like in the next five to ten years? This semester, I'm working on my undergraduate thesis, and despite the difficulties, I'm feeling inspired. It is demonstrating to me what I want to accomplish in the future and that I am capable of doing research, which has long been a dream of mine.

Receiving this award was really motivating; it validates my hard work in recent years and provides me with further motivation to keep working hard. There will always be difficulties and challenges on my path, but receiving encouragement from others is invaluable. So, once again, thank you for this amazing scholarship. It will go toward my tuition and will ease some of my financial burden, allowing me to focus more on my studies and setting myself up for success in my future endeavours.”
