WHAT IS AN INTERIM STATEMENT OF MARKS?Most awards require a copy of your grades to this point in the academic year to help us calculate academic merit.

For students enrolled in Skills Training (SaskPolytech) or Adult Basic Education programs, an Interim Statement of Marks is a form completed by your instructor that states your progress in your program.

Letters may be emailed to [email protected] or dropped off in a package with your transcripts, interim statement of marks, and/or letter of rationale at your nearest college campus (ATTN: Jenna Niebergall, Scholarship Committee).

WHAT IS A LETTER OF RATIONALE?A letter of rationale is a written statement that gives you the opportunity to explain to the Scholarship Committee why you are the best candidate for the award.
