FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE for POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION
INTRODUCTION
WHY DO I NEED TO APPLY FOR MONEY FOR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION?
Grade 12 is the time in your life when you are making decisions that will determine the direction of
your post high school years. Today’s changing job market and economy often make postsecondary education a necessary part of life after high school. Given this reality, most students
need to be aware of the costs of post-secondary education and potential sources of financial aid to
assist them with these expenses.
WHAT DOES IT COST?
Below are the minimum costs for a single undergraduate first year Art student enrolled in the U.B.C
Arts program in the winter session (September to April). Total costs vary according to the
institution, program and type of accommodation chosen.

Besides holding down a part-time job, having a college/university fund set up by your
parents/guardians or inheriting money, the only other way to get funding for your post-secondary
education is to apply early for financial aid.

GOVERNMENT STUDENT LOANS & GRANTS
Student loans are repayable financial assistance.
Grants are non-repayable financial assistance.
Full-time Students:
The federal government’s Canada Student Loan program is administered by and in conjunction
with provincial governments. Students complete only one application to be considered for both
federal and provincial loans and grants for full-time study. BC residents will apply to the
StudentAid BC, administered by the Ministry of Advanced Education. (Payment of principal and
interest on student loan commences six months after the student ceases full-time studies)
All full-time students are automatically assessed for the following:
Canada student loan
BC student loan
Grant for students from Low Income Families
Grant for students from Middle Income Families
Grant for students with Dependents
Part-time Students:
The federal government provides loan funding through the National Student Loans Service Center.
Part-time loans are interest bearing, which means that interest accumulates while you are
studying.
BC students can apply on-line at www.StudentAidBC.ca (Go to www.canlearn.ca and visit the
Student Loan Estimator to calculate how much you may be eligible for)
6. BANK LOANS FOR STUDENTS

2.
Ask parents, coaches, employers, and volunteer agencies with whom you are associated about
scholarships, awards or bursary opportunities.
3.
Application Form - Scholarship application forms should be requested well in advance of the deadline for
submitting completed forms. As not all application forms are available in the Career Center, students
should research where and how applications forms may be obtained. It is the responsibility of the
student to obtain application forms and complete the necessary documentation.
4.
Deadlines – These dates are set in stone. Some scholarships specify the ‘date as postmarked’; some as
‘received by’. Avoid disqualifying your application. Prepare and mail your applications early.
5.
Essays – If specific information is required, pay careful attention that all details are covered. The criterion
has been established, and the committee screening the applications will be looking for that information.
Keep the tone of the letter or essay business-like. Be straightforward, concise and unemotional. Avoid a
folksy-type approach. If it is a letter, use a standard business letter format. If it is an essay, use all the
essay skills you have acquired at school. The committee will be looking for content but they will be
influenced by style. Have your English teacher proofread your essay.
6.
Content:








7.
If there are no specific requirements for an essay or letter, you should consider the following:
Include identity, academic standing
Reflect how specific subjects have influenced you
A brief outline of your interests, hobbies and activities
A brief summary of positions and offices held by you in school, youth organizations and/or
the community
A short statement of your purpose in seeking to attend a specific post-secondary institution
(include future plans)
Information concerning awards, scholarships and prizes won by you in any field
Details of employment in the last two years, during vacations or after school
Details of any volunteer work you have done
Format: If instructions do not specify that the letter or essay be handwritten, type the document, use
standard business style. If you are handwriting the final copy, make certain it is neat and legible. Use 8
½x 11-inch paper, one side only.
Page 14 of 28
8.
References – Unless it is specified, try to get a mix of supporting letters, i.e. a teacher, an employer, a
coach, someone from the community. Make certain that the people you choose will speak positively
about you. It is difficult to write a letter for someone about whom you have reservations. The tone will
likely be evident in the letter. Ask the person if they have any reservations about writing a letter of
recommendation or support on your behalf. Please give referees two weeks’ notice.
9.
If you are applying for several scholarships, ask the person writing the letter to use either a “To Whom It
May Concern” introduction, or ask them to put it on a word processor so that they can redo the letter
several times without having to rewrite it every time.
10. Personal ‘Brag’ Sheet – provide the person with a summary of details about yourself. Even if they do not
use all the information, it will help them to make general statements about you.
11. Provide the criteria of the scholarship. - Specify those things that you would like to see included in the
letter.
Among these might be:
 your accomplishments
 unique characteristics
 Service, clubs, etc.
 awards and prizes
 academic standing if it is relevant to that person
 academic qualities if it is relevant
 Interests as they relate to the letter writer
(Note: It is common courtesy to provide as much information as possible, and to request as
early as possible any documentation or reference letters you may require.)
12. Letters from Teachers – No more than two letters of reference should be submitted. Letters from
teachers who are subject specialists are preferable. In general, students applying to enter Arts or Science
should consider selecting letters from teachers within these disciplines.
13. Letters from the Principal or Designate – These letters generally provide a brief profile of the student
within the school as well as an indication of predicted rank of the student within the graduating class.
14. Requests for Transcripts – Your counselor can issue you your transcript.
15. High academic marks - Make sure you know what is being measured: i.e. average of all courses in grade
12, average of grade 11 and 12 marks, only “academic” courses, GPA (Grade Point Average), top
percentile of graduating class, etc.
16. Service – More scholarships/awards/bursaries are now including service in their criteria. Service may
include volunteer activities in school or in the community. Brainstorm, check with a friend. Quite often,
we do not give ourselves credit for what we have accomplished or contributed.
17. Exams – Some scholarships require the writing of government exams. High academic criteria
scholarships may require specific exam results, i.e. Euclid Math Exam results: S.F.U.’s P.D. McTaggart
Cowan Scholarships in Math, Physics, Biology and Chemistry have explicit requirements.
18. Nomination – Some scholarships, usually high academic or entrance scholarships require that the school
or principal nominate a student (normally one) for a specific award. The principal may be unaware of the
post-secondary institutions students are considering applying to, so inform your counselor and take the
time to discuss your options with the principal. Scholarships which require nominations usually have
early application deadlines.
Page 15 of 28
19. Projected letter grades/marks – Most scholarships/awards request projected letter grades or
percentages. It is your responsibility to write your name, the teacher’s name and the subject on each
form (6 to 8 forms). If you have the same teacher for more than one subject, both marks can be placed
on the one form. Your teacher will be responsible for returning it to either Ms. Ahooja or Ms. Johal.
