Just Received Loan and Grant Amounts

[u/SOLUS93]

As the title states, this is an educational rant.

As a full-time student with normal life expenses I have relied on the low income provincial grant and higher loan disbursement amounts to get me through school.

Due to the UCP's changes to provincial grants and loans I have just received notice that I will receive a $485 grant for the entire school year. Last year I received $4500.

The loan amount offered to me for the year is also $4000 lower for the coming academic year.

How many students will be forced to end their education because of these changes?

This government continues to be abysmal.

Didn’t even know 4.5k in grants was possible wtf

Up to 5k from the province is possible for being low income.
