Saskatchewan students wishing to pursue post-secondary education in Russia will not be eligible for Saskatchewan Student Aid. The provincial government sees the move as being in step with the federal government’s decision to remove student aid for Russian post-secondary schools, in support of Ukraine.
“The safety of our students is a priority for our government, whether they are studying in Saskatchewan or abroad,” said Advanced Education Minister Colleen Young. “We want our students to receive high-quality post-secondary education in safe, stable environments.”
There are currently no Saskatchewan students receiving Saskatchewan Student Aid while attending a post-secondary institution in Russia.
