Take a look at some exciting giving opportunities available for your School:

Student Awards

• the Master of Physical Therapy Student Research Travel Award- this award is to provide financial assistance to MPT students to enable them to participate in academic-related conferences, academic competitions and other formal academic activities. The funding may partially support students? involvement in one of these activities (thank you to the Class of ?76 for organizing and starting this award and who welcome any interested alumni to contribute).
• the Friends and Family Award- this award was established?in 2009 and is given to an entering student to recognize achievement based on academic proficiency and personal aptitudes?for the profession. One or more awards of $1000 are awarded?annually with a value determined by the Awards Committee?based on?the financial resources available to an entering student based on total admission score at the time of admission into the program.
• the Student Clinical Placement Travel Fund- the Master of Physical Therapy (MPT) program has placed a distinct emphasis on accessing terrific clinical learning opportunities throughout the entire province of Saskatchewan ? in communities large and small ? from east to west and north to south. In order to assist students, the MPT Student Clinical Placement Travel Grant was established?in 2009 to help with costs? (e.g travel and accommodation) directly associated with clinical courses which take place outside of Saskatoon. There is no long term dedicated funding for this grant and its continuation hinges upon sufficient funds being available. Each student receives only one grant ($500 maximum) during their program. In order to assist students with some of the associated costs of travelling and living expenses we seek your support in building a sustainable funding base for this award.
