The PEP program and the preparatory courses are administered by the CPA Western School of Business.
• The scholarships, bursaries or grants are to assist recipients in the continuation of their course of studies in Saskatchewan leading to the CPA professional designation.
• The activities of the Fund are restricted to promotion of higher education by providing bursaries, scholarships and grants to qualified students.
