The program can award up to 21 grants each year across multiple categories, and for the 2024-25 season, 29 applications were received.

Since 1990-91, over 438 grants totaling more than $439,000 have been awarded. Funding comes from the Hockey Saskatchewan Scholarship Fund, established with surplus funds from the 1991 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship in Saskatchewan.
