The Saskatchewan Innovation and Opportunity Scholarship (SIOS) program helps Saskatchewan post-secondary institutions provide scholarships to students in new and emerging areas of study. Institutions receive provincial government funding through the program, which is then matched by private sector and community-based partners. The institutions allocate the funds towards their own scholarships. These scholarships may not include SIOS in the name.
Scholarships that are funded by the SIOS program are administered and distributed by Saskatchewan post-secondary institutions. Contact your institution to learn more about scholarship opportunities and how to apply.
