Education has the power to change the trajectory of a life. It opens doors, builds confidence, and shapes the future in ways that ripple outward into families, workplaces, parishes, and communities. Yet rising educational costs continue to create barriers for many students who are eager to learn but face financial obstacles.

Catholic education, in particular, forms not only the mind but also the heart. It nurtures character, strengthens faith, and encourages students to see their gifts as tools for service. When the Foundation supports Catholic education through bursaries, it is investing in people — in their dreams, their potential, and their future contributions to our province.

Our Foundation offers several $ 1,000.00 bursaries to each of the Catholic colleges in Saskatchewan (St. Thomas More, St. Peter’s College, Campion College, and St. Therese College). Earnings from the Adrienne and Mervyn Welter Education Endowment Fund and the Sask K of C Capital Endowment Fund fund these bursaries.  In addition, we offer one $1000.00 Bursary to a student in each of the four Saskatchewan Polytechnic campuses within the province (Regina, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, and Saskatoon). The earnings from the Sask K of C Capital Endowment Fund fund these bursaries.

To be eligible for a Bursary, a student must be a member, or a spouse, child or grandchild of a member (or deceased member) in good standing.

We encourage you to visit our website, Bursaries: Supporting Education in Saskatchewan.  It provides information about the Bursaries we offer and how to apply.  But as importantly, it provides a pictorial of students who received a bursary and where available, information about the student.

These bursary recipients become tomorrow’s leaders, educators, healthcare professionals, tradespeople, clergy, and community volunteers. They carry forward the values of faith, service, and compassion into every part of their lives. Behind every bursary is a story of hope: a student striving to build a future, and a donor who helped make that future possible.

This is the most human part of the Foundation’s work. It is not about dollars — it is about opportunity. It is about ensuring that every student who feels called to learn, grow, and serve has the chance to do so.

Call to Action: Behind every bursary is a student pursuing a dream and a donor who helped make that dream possible.
