Earlier this week, Ukrainian university students visited the Saskatchewan Legislative Building to express concerns that the Ukrainian student tuition agreement will not be extended. The agreement—which is set to expire in March 2026—allows students from Ukraine to pay domestic tuition rates when studying at Saskatchewan postsecondary institutions. “If this program genuinely gets cut, the price is going to be […] $40,000, $50,000 a year,” said University of Saskatchewan student Ivan Teteria. “People who flee the war typically don’t have just $40,000 lying around.” The program is jointly funded by the federal and provincial government, and Government of Saskatchewan Advanced Education Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said that the two governments will be engaging in contract negotiations in the future.
