EXTERNAL SERVICES FOR STUDENTS
The Princess Shop
Dress Appointment Application Forms
The Princess Shop’s mission is to create an enhanced graduation experience for women and students in need, and provide them with mentorship, support, and the tools to pursue success after graduation. The organization was found upon the philosophy that when we celebrate our accomplishments, it sets us up to pursue further success. However, socioeconomic factors limit participation for many students attending their graduation days. Since 2007, The Princess Shop has served over 1,571 students from across Saskatchewan outfitting them for graduation day celebrations, distributed over $159,497 in scholarships, bursaries and awards, arranged 127 mentorship matches, and have expanded programming to include free skill development opportunities and the Ribbon Skirt Program.
Through these efforts, The Princess Shop has made a lasting impact in the lives of underserved individuals and their families.
With graduation quickly approaching I have linked the application forms for our dress program. If you have students that you feel would benefit from our services please have them fill it out.
