1. Can I use these classes at another institution?

Answer: Classes awarded by the accelerated scholarship are only eligible for redemption at St. Peter’s College. Students will still be taking the same classes offered by the University of Saskatchewan but will do so at St. Peter’s College in their small class sizes and individualized instruction. 

2. Can I use this scholarship in my 2nd year of university?

Answer: The scholarship cannot be carried over to future years of university. 3 credit units must be used in the fall or winter semesters of the student’s grade 12 year. If the student chooses to spend their first year at St. Peter’s College, they must take advantage of the scholarship in the winter semester of their first year.

3. Do I receive cash from this scholarship if I win it but only use part/none of the allocated credit units?

Answer: The scholarship holds no cash value and is used to reimburse tuition only. Students will not receive any cash value if the scholarship is not used. 

4. Am I only allowed to take 3 credit classes during my grade 12 year? Or can I take a 6 credit class such as art?

Answer: If the recipient chooses a 6 credit class as their class of choice, the scholarship will cover half of the associated tuition costs. The student will be charged the other 3 credit units. It is common for accelerated scholarship recipients to enrol in a class each term to get even further ahead in their studies.

5. What happens if I decide I don’t want to take the class anymore? 

Answer: St. Peter’s College understands that extenuating circumstances exist, and as such, students will not be charged for the class if they choose to drop it, but, they are expected to apply for the scholarship only if they intend to complete it. By being awarded the scholarship and choosing to not utilize it, you may be taking a class from a student who would have seen the class to completion. We recommend talking to the academic advisors and your professors to work out a solution that fits your needs.

6. I live far away and/or have a busy schedule. Is there any way I can take advantage of this scholarship?

Answer: As most instructors at St. Peter’s College teach at the USask campus in Saskatoon or at other institutions, we have allocated each class a dedicated 3-hour block that occurs once per week. Some classes occur: 

     – In the evening soon after your classes end at high school (4:30 PM – 7:20 PM).

     – Every 2nd weekend if you are concerned about weekday times (10:00 am – 3:50 PM).

7. What about scholarships for people entering their first or second year of university?

Answer: Our other scholarships open on May 1st and run until June 20th. You can find information on these  here.
