Students at Saskatchewan Polytechnic won't have to pay extra next year.
On May 7, Sask Polytech announced it will move forward with a zero-per-cent tuition increase for Canadian and international students for the 2020-21 academic year. The decision was made to support students in light of the ongoing pandemic.
“It is critical that we remain focused on the future and on our mission to educate students, and provide skilled and successful graduates,” says Dr. Larry Rosia, Saskatchewan Polytechnic president and CEO.
“I am happy to share that Saskatchewan Polytechnic will not be increasing tuition during this challenging time. I am confident that if we approach our financial situation with the same rigour, flexibility and adaptability that we use to prepare tomorrow's workforce, we will be successful.”
According to a press release, one out of every 24 jobs in the province is supported by the activities of Saskatchewan Polytechnic, its students, and alumni, resulting in a $2.2 billion effect on Saskatchewan’s economy.
