Welcome to the Saskatchewan Bachelor of Science in Nursing (SCBScN) with a presence on Treaty 4 and Treaty 6 territories and the homeland of the Métis.  The SCBScN program strives to support Indigenous students in their journey to compete their Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

Equity Seats

The SCBScN program has designated 53 seats for Indigenous students out of the 345 seats available in year 1. To qualify for one of these seats, students must meet the admission requirements and be self-declared as an Indigenous person.

If you have questions about how to qualify for one of these designated seats please contact one of the Indigenous Nursing Student Advisors.
