SAIT is proud to offer more than $5 million in scholarships and bursaries to students in almost every program, and you’ll find complete details in this guide. Whether you are starting your very first semester or getting ready to graduate, awards are available to all qualifying SAIT students. Some awards recognize your academic success and other awards recognize your community involvement. Every award is dedicated to helping SAIT students find success, and every award has been created because of generous donations from SAIT alumni, faculty and staff as well as corporate partners and friends. This past year, a record number of donors contributed to emergency funds for students in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. I encourage you to apply for a student award. You’ll find everything you need to know about the application process in this guide. You can also attend our helpful award assistance labs to learn about the process — search Student Awards on sait.ca for details. If you receive an award, please help us and future students by thanking the donor or sponsor who provided the funds. Your award confirmation email will include suggestions for how you can use our ThankView app to record a personal video expressing your thanks, or you can send an online note. Each thank you is a meaningful way to express your gratitude — and a smart way to make a great impression and connect with influential SAIT donors, sponsors and potential employers. Those who graduate from SAIT join a network of more than 250,000 alumni — people who have made a difference in their communities and around the world. From the moment you arrive on campus, the Alumni and Development team will do all we can to support you and your career goals. We’re here to help — if you have questions or just want to connect, send us an email at [email protected]. I wish you a great year and continued success.
