Student news
Making a difference with more than just a meal
A simple meal can change the course of a student's day — and sometimes their future. Thanks to donor generosity, SAIT's food security initiatives are helping students facing financial hardship access nutritious food, easing stress and giving them the support to continue pursuing their education.
Giving Day and giving back
For Travis Gallup (EVT ’11), a long-standing family connection with SAIT and the desire to make a difference have inspired his first-ever gift in support of student success.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
