Programs

The Dress Program

The Princess Shop’s dress program lends donated dresses and accessories to female graduates in need, to enhance their graduation experience.  A young woman interested in the program can receive an application form and The Princess Shop’s contact information from her high school student services.  Then, she will have a personal fitting with representatives of The Princess Shop. The organization hopes to find the perfect dress for every young woman who requires services.  Princess Graduates have the opportunity to be lent a graduation dress, accessories, shoes, etc. donated by members of our community. Princess Graduates in Saskatoon also have access to donated services, including makeup by Spa Academy, hair by Marca College, corsages by Creative Compliments, photos by sbrunner photography, and limousine services by Provincial Car Service.

The Fairy Godmother Program

In addition to the opportunity to be lent a graduation dress, accessories, shoes, etc. donated by members of our community, Princess Graduates have the opportunity to build a relationship with a Fairy Godmother, who will play a special role in the transition from high school to independence and success in the following months. The relationships will be formed based on similar interests between mentor and mentee, giving the mentor the opportunity to offer an answer to the mentee’s questions, the teaching of basic life skills, and friendship.

The Scholarship Program

The inability to afford a memorable graduation experience goes hand-in-hand with the inability to afford post-secondary education. The young women who participate in The Princess Shop program will experience an exceptional graduation day to transition into the next chapter of their lives, but for some of these girls, there is no guarantee that the next chapter will be any better than the last. This is where the rest of our community comes in. With your help, we can provide educational and living scholarships to assist some of these young women in this important transition, decreasing debt and increasing their quality of life. Participants in The Princess Shop program will have access to application forms, as set by a sponsoring company.

The Princess Shop’s first scholarship recipient was announced in July 2009. Spa Academy, Saskatchewan’s top esthetics and spa education center, has generously committed to the ongoing annual provision of one scholarship for their professional esthetics program. The scholarship consists of full tuition for one student, valued at $9300. The professional esthetics program is designed to provide students with the skills to become a successful esthetician. The Princess Shop is very excited to initiate the Scholarship Program with Spa Academy, and looks forward to the inclusion of additional scholarships and partnerships in the future.

The scholarship recipient was announced on July 7, 2009. The recipient’s name is Sasha Stone, and she is a twenty-year-old 2009 Princess Graduate. Becoming an esthetician has been what she has wanted to do ever since she was a young girl. Sasha enjoys helping people feel good about themselves, and she likes to look after people. Spa Academy’s scholarship has fulfilled Sasha’s dream of becoming an esthetician.
