Provincial multi-year funding agreement announced
Today the Government of Saskatchewan announced a new four-year funding agreement for the University of Saskatchewan, and for all other post-secondary institutions in the province.
Through this agreement, the Government of Saskatchewan has once again signalled its confidence in the University of Saskatchewan and in the social and economic impact we have on our province.

The agreement outlines the government’s commitment to a three per cent increase to operating funding each year for the next four years. The agreement also clarifies that the one per cent increase implemented in 2025-26 will be permanent, meaning the three per cent increase is on top of that. Finally, there will be a change to the tuition increase limit: the former limit of four per cent for domestic undergraduate programs will be decreased in the new agreement to three per cent.
“This level of support stands out across the country and will enable our university to continue to deliver a strong return on investment for Saskatchewan and its citizens. We appreciate their continuing commitment to post-secondary education and to the University of Saskatchewan,” said Peter Stoicheff, president and vice-chancellor of the University of Saskatchewan. “We are celebrating this investment and certainty around our funding for the next four years.”
