Chancellors' 'Chernoff' Family Award(s)

The Chancellors' 'Chernoff' Family Award is a prestigious entrance scholarship at the University of Saskatchewan designed to recognize academic excellence among Saskatchewan high school graduates. The award provides $30,000 in total support distributed as $7,500 per year over four years to support students pursuing their first direct-entry degree program at the university. Two awards are offered annually, making this a highly competitive scholarship opportunity. The scholarship is renewable for up to three additional years beyond the initial year, contingent upon the recipient's continued academic performance. To maintain the award, students must complete at least 24 credit units during the prior fall and winter terms and maintain a minimum average of 80% on all credit units attempted during those terms. This renewable structure provides sustained financial support throughout the undergraduate degree, enabling recipients to focus on their academic pursuits and achieve their educational goals. This entrance scholarship is open to students entering any direct-entry degree program at the University of Saskatchewan, providing flexibility in program choice while rewarding academic achievement. The award recognizes the Chernoff family's commitment to supporting higher education and academic excellence in Saskatchewan.
