The Saskatchewan Student Ambassador Program was launched Monday by the provincial government.

It is designed to provide students studying abroad and international students studying in Saskatchewan with specialized training to become global citizens and ambassadors of the province. As a key component of the government’s new International Education Strategy, the Ministry of Advanced Education is partnering with Saskatchewan’s post-secondary education institutions to deliver specialized training for student ambassadors registered in this program through two key pathways – outbound mobility and inbound mobility. A variety of supports are accessible to inbound and outbound students through their institution, including the Saskatchewan Innovation and Opportunity Scholarship which provides funding to students studying abroad as well as international students studying in the province.
