Twelve USask students receive Sask Wheat 2023-2024 scholarships and awards

The Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (Sask Wheat) committed $165,000 to six undergraduate and six graduate student awards and scholarships to students at the University of Saskatchewan’s (USask) College of Agriculture and Bioresources in 2023. That brought Sask Wheat’s total commitment to student scholarships and awards to $1,055,000 since 2015.

Sask Wheat’s objective when establishing the Sask Wheat Undergraduate Awards and Scholarships and Graduate Scholarships at USask was to assist in the education of Agriculture and Bioresources students, strengthening the development of Saskatchewan’s next generation of producers, agronomists, and researchers. Further, the graduate scholarships enhance the college's research capabilities and complement research being undertaken by the faculty.
