Donor Administered by the CFUW Canadian Federation of University Women Saskatoon Inc.

The Saskatoon club of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) was formed in 1918 by fifteen university graduates. One of the mandates of the CFUW is to empower women and girls, particularly through education. From its early inception, scholarship awards and loans to help students in need were a focus of the Saskatoon club. Awards are funded by generous donations from individuals and from the annual book sale operated each fall.

Unless otherwise stated, offered annually to female identifying students in any field who have maintained an average of 75% or higher. The awards will only be made to students who will be full-time students at the University of Saskatchewan in the upcoming Fall academic year. Preference will be given to students working on their first degree. Additional requirements for each scholarship are:

• C.F.U.W. Saskatoon Inc. Scholarships: Seven scholarships are available: two for students who have completed 1 year of university studies, and five for which at least 2 years of studies are completed, with one of these awards with preference to a mature applicant who is continuing studies after an interruption in education of several years. These renamed scholarships are established in the names and memory of Annie B. and Isabel Shaw, Mary Hallett, Jean Bayer, Harriet Kaplan, sisters Winnie and Edith Rowles, Grace Swanson, and Vivian Morton.
• Marie I. Gillespie Scholarship awarded to a mature woman who has completed at least one year of university, with preference given to a parent.
• Carolyn Hartney Scholarship available to a student who has completed at least one year of university studies, needs financial support, but is not likely to receive numerous or major awards
• Jacqueline McKenzie Newstead Scholarship available to a student who has completed three or more years of university and demonstrates financial need. Given similar qualifications, preference will be given to a single parent.
