Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS)

Role of APEGS in the Funding Ecosystem

As the regulatory body for engineering and geoscience professions in Saskatchewan, APEGS serves a dual mandate: protecting the public through professional licensing and standards enforcement, while also supporting the continued professional development of its members. The Member Education Grant program represents one of the key ways APEGS invests in its registrants' advancement.

Member Education Grant Program

APEGS annually awards six merit-based grants of $7,500 to encourage members to pursue post-graduate studies in engineering, geoscience, or business administration at the University of Regina or University of Saskatchewan. These grants are available to members who have not previously received this grant, with applications due by December 31 for consideration and award in the following year.

Eligibility and Application Process

To be eligible for the Member Education Grant, candidates must be APEGS members in good standing and must not have previously received this grant. Applications are submitted through the APEGS Contact Us page, clearly indicating "Member Education Grant Application" in the subject line. The official APEGS Member Education Grant Form must be completed and submitted.

Professional Regulation and Public Protection

APEGS regulates approximately 18,000 engineering and geoscience registrants under The Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act. The organization sets admission standards, investigates complaints of professional incompetence and misconduct, and enforces the Code of Ethics. All professionals undertaking engineering or geoscience work in Saskatchewan must be licensed by APEGS.
