Level Up Alumni Awards
The Level Up Alumni Awards are a perk created just for you — a valued member of the SAIT alumni family. And because SAIT wants to partner with you on this journey, we have created a student entrance award offered exclusively to SAIT alumni.
Applications for the Level Up Alumni Awards open Wednesday, July 9 at 10 am. Please keep eye on your student inbox for the link invitation to apply.

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.
