Behind every bursary is a story—one of perseverance, passion, and purpose. At Saskatchewan Polytechnic, these stories remind us why investing in education matters. This year’s Saskatchewan Knights of Columbus Charitable Foundation Bursary recipients embody resilience and ambition, turning challenges into stepping stones toward brighter futures. From caring for others in their most vulnerable moments to protecting our natural world, these students are shaping careers that will make a lasting impact on their communities.
Morgan Haviland – Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Regina Campus)
Morgan’s path to nursing reflects resilience and purpose. After overcoming early challenges as a young mother, she pursued massage therapy before enrolling in the SCBScN program. Nursing aligns with her values of compassion and advocacy, and she aspires to become a Nurse Practitioner, possibly in a prison setting or working in oncology. Morgan is deeply grateful for the bursary, which eases financial stress and supports her dream of advancing in healthcare.
Aiden Young – Integrated Resource Management (Prince Albert Campus)
Aiden’s love for nature and wildlife inspired him to pursue a career in resource management. His goal is to advocate for sustainable environmental practices while working in the natural resources field. Brusaries allow him to focus on studies without financial strain. Aiden credits his grandfather for nurturing his passion for the outdoors and looks forward to making a positive impact on the environment.
Sharon Sebastian – Civil Engineering Technologies (Moose Jaw Campus)
Sharon came to Saskatchewan Polytechnic with a clear goal: to become an engineer. His passion for learning and determination drive him forward in the Civil Engineering Technologies program. Receiving a bursary has eased his financial burden and strengthened his motivation to excel academically and achieve his professional aspirations.
Hunter combines academic excellence with community spirit. After earning a Bachelor of Science in Physiology and Pharmacology, he enrolled in the Pharmacy Technician program to gain practical skills and serve his community. His long-term goal is to become a pharmacist. Hunter appreciates the donor support that allows him to focus on studies and reduce financial stress, fueling his ambition to advance in healthcare.
The Power of Support: Building Futures Together
These stories are more than personal achievements—they’re proof of what happens when generosity meets determination. Each bursary has helped transform financial challenges into opportunities, allowing students to focus on their studies and pursue careers that will make a difference in healthcare, engineering, environmental stewardship, and beyond.
To our donors: your support doesn’t just fund education—it fuels dreams, strengthens communities, and inspires the next generation of leaders. Thank you for believing in these students and for being a vital part of their journey.
