🌟 Thank You to Our Incredible Scholarship Donors We are so grateful to the individuals, families, and organizations who generously support Suncrest College students through scholarships. Thanks to our donors, and with nearly all awards matched through the Saskatchewan Innovation and Opportunity Scholarship (SIOS) program, which provides Government of Saskatchewan funding matched with donations from private sector and community-based partners, hundreds of students each year receive meaningful financial support. Our donors play an active role in creating their scholarship. They choose the award name, set the criteria, and decide whether it’s an entrance or internal award. From there, our team manages the promotion and application process, making it easy to give back. Each year, donors are invited to personally present their awards at our Scholarship Ceremony, a truly special moment for both donor and student. This year, we were honoured to welcome several new awards created in memory of loved ones.
