Pursuing post-secondary education can be very time-consuming and overwhelming, but there are several resources that can help make the process a lot easier. The Education Assistance program is designed to provide guidance and support for civilian spouses of military members looking for educational opportunities.
Guidance is offered through individual consultation as well as referral to educational resources and assistance. Individual support is available for researching programs, identifying prerequisites required, and assisting the application process.
Saskatchewan is home to many institutions of higher learning. There are several opportunities for distance learning offered for your convenience as well as a wide range of programs. Whether you are interested in the arts, teacher education, business, science and technology, aesthetics, or different trades, there are several opportunities for you to find a program that suits your interests and needs.
