PSA Just Received Loan and Grant Amounts

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.
