DRIVING STUDENT SUCCESS

A student's journey at SAIT starts with excitement and a dream focused on realizing passions, achieving educational goals and gaining the skills needed to thrive. From the first time a student arrives on campus to that joyful moment crossing the stage as a graduate, donors like you are there for every step with support and encouragement. The story of your impact is told everywhere at SAIT and beyond - by staff, faculty, visitors and students.

Thank you for driving student success at SAIT.

Receiving the award changed everything, the impact that it's had on my life has allowed me to continue coming to school every single day.

DRIVING EMPOWERED EDUCATION

Your generosity is evident through the hallways, classrooms and labs across SAIT's campus. Donor support ensures SAIT graduates are given the skills they need to become tomorrow's talent today.

Donor support plays a big part in the program because it enables the students to have real world products and software to go along with their textbooks and their educational supplies.

DRIVING COMMUNITY IMPACT

The success of both SAIT and the students who bring this institution to life are a direct result of the generosity from donors like you. This support paves the ways as we continue to transform who we team, how we teach and what we teach.

This year, you and 1,199 other donors came together to give $42,321,405.

I would hope a student impacted by generosity would take some inspiration from the fact that any student can do whatever it is that they want to do in the world. My encouragement to any student would be; if you believe in something go after it and don't give up.

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, Region 3.
