Students enrolled in the heavy equipment operator (HEO) program through Southeast College will now have an additional funding opportunity available to them.
Southeast College has partnered with the Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association (SHCA) to provide scholarships directed at students enrolled in the HEO program.
The Southeast College is currently offering three intake cohorts of the HEO program with four cohorts planned in each of 2022 and 2023. Each cohort is 12 weeks in length, with the first six weeks spent in classroom and the last six weeks spent in a field experience environment.
Students will be eligible to apply for the scholarship during the first six weeks of their program, and the successful recipient will receive their scholarship during the ninth week of their program.
The scholarship is valued at $2,000 and will be presented to one student in each intake cohort. Awarding of the scholarship will be based on factors including academic achievement and student financial need.
Southeast College scholarships and bursaries are made possible by donations from community organizations, businesses and individuals, as well as various fundraising events such as the college’s Swing for Scholarships Golf Tournaments, which is slated to happen at the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Course on June 24.
Eligible funds are matched by the Ministry of Advanced Education through the Saskatchewan Innovation and Opportunity Scholarship (SIOS) program.
