Sustainability > Technology-in-Action Scholarships
Saskatchewan's early settlers survived and prospered because they were innovative, determined, adaptive and practical - attributes that form the foundation of any successful venture today. The Technology-in-Action Fund is a perpetual memorial fund that is based on these attributes.
The fund was established by Ian and Pearl Wahn to honor their parents and grandparents who were pioneers of Saskatchewan. Donations are also accepted from private and public organizations, individuals and families who share the desire to leave a lasting legacy to the people of this province.
The purpose of the fund is to help the people of Saskatchewan develop this province as a highly skilled, fair, desirable and compassionate society with a secure environment. In practical terms, it means working to address the immediate needs of small and medium-sized businesses, farmers, rural communities and natural resource development.
The Technology-in-Action Awards program has two streams:
 Youth Scholarships - Two $5,000 scholarships will be awarded annually from SRC's TIA Fund through My Future is Here. My Future Is Here focuses on providing a one-stop resource for youth programs and funding on their website. It is also committed to developing further scholarship and business start-up funding for youth that choose to stay in Saskatchewan. Scholarship and business fund winners are recognized and given a chance to meet sponsors and potential future employers at an annual gala event. Visit www.myfutureishere.ca and click on the Financial Institution tab for more information.
 Entrepreneur Award - The $10,000 New Product Award from SRC's TIA Fund is available through the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce ABEX Awards. It is awarded to the business demonstrating exceptional performance in launching a new Saskatchewan-made product, technology, or service which is original and has good commercial potential.
