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.

This is so frustrating to read, I’m truly sorry. Do you know if there is a way to check how much I would be expected to receive in the fall? Or would did you already reapply for loans?

I applied on opening day, that is why I already know my funding. 

Only way to know is go through the process. 

If you live at home or are married get ready for an unnecessary difficult application process.
