How to apply for Saskatchewan Student Aid: step by step

Before you start

• Your Social Insurance Number, which you enter on the official site only
• If you’re a full-time dependent student: your parents’ details, such as their marital status
• If you’re married: your spouse’s details
• If you have children: each child’s Health Services Number and birth date

The province suggests applying at least two months before classes start so funding arrives on time. WealthNutz never asks for your SIN or anyone else’s.

The steps

1. Sign in to the Advanced Education Student Portal. Create an account if you don’t have one.
2. Choose your application. Pick “Apply for Full-Time Student Loan” or “Apply for Part-Time Student Loan”.
3. Fill in the online application.
4. Upload any documents asked for through your student portal account.

Online applications can be processed in days. Paper applications usually take about four weeks.

Deadline

Your application, and any changes to it, must arrive at least 30 days before your study period ends.

After you apply

• You get an Assessment Summary Letter in your student portal account that shows your federal and provincial aid.
• Most payments come through the NSLSC. You sign in there through your My Service Canada Account.
• Apply for your school’s own awards and bursaries too. Find your school on our school pages, or search with the Scholarship Finder.
