About the Scholarship Sponsor:

The University of Saskatchewan, which was established in the year 1907 in the country of Canada, has developed into a well-known research-based university since its founding. After beginning as a university for the study and research of agriculture, the University of Saskatchewan eventually expanded its academic offerings to include those of medicine, the arts, and sciences, as well as law, engineering, theology, and other disciplines. For the purpose of carrying out research, the University of Saskatchewan is provided with around 175 million dollars worth of funding from its sponsors. This serves as the primary characteristic of the university because it enables its students to carry out research and has sufficient funds to offer them with help and assistance in their work. Additionally, the institution allows its students to conduct research independently.

There are approximately 130 different organizations and organisations, in addition to 7 museums and art galleries, and a Physical Activity Complex can be found on campus.
