j)-

Date: 17 November 2005

I am pleased to submit the Annual Report of the Senate Policy Committee on Scholarships,

Awards and Bursaries (SPCSAB) for the fiscal year 2004-2005.

Last year's Annual Report (2003-2004) was delivered in the spring of

2005.

The introduction of

the new Student Information Management System (SIMS) for the University meant that it took

longer to develop relevant information last year. That transition has now been effected.

Beginning with 2004-2005 we expect to return to the normal fall delivery of the SPCSAB

Annual Reports.

Overview

SPCSAB is the committee charged by Senate with setting policy for the administration of

awards, student scholarships, bursaries and other forms of financial aid at SFU. It should be

noted that this is primarily for internal awards. Three other Senate committees, namely SUAAC

(Senate Undergraduate Awards Adjudication Committee), SGAAC (Senate Graduate Awards

Adjudication Committee) and SCUH (Senate Committee on University Honors) adjudicate

financial awards to students where adjudication is needed. Academic Resources, a division of

Student Services, processes bursary applications.

During 2004-05 financial assistance at the University increased significantly. Applications for

undergraduate student bursaries increased by 9 percent while the University funded bursary

budget increased by 91 percent to $4.84 million. Graduate bursaries brought the total bursary

budget to $5.3 million, an increase of 46 percent over 2003-04 and 150 percent over 2002-03. A

special Access Committee, established by the Board of Governors in Spring 2004, reviewed

issues relating to the increasing tuition fees and the effect this was having on students' ability to

attend university. The Access committee provided advice to SPCSAB on how the adjustment to

the Scholarships, Awards and Bursaries component of the University's budget should be

allocated. In particular it was noted that the portion of assessed need that could be

•

?

accommodated by the bursaries budget had been declining. Thus the additional allocation to the

SAB budget allowed the University to provide funding at 85% of assessed need. The SPCSAB

agreed to this adjustment to the bursaries base in 2004-2005 based on the dramatic increase to

---

tuition fees but reserved judgment on the disposition of future SAB budget increases. The

Committee expressed a desire to continue to recognize good student scholarship as well as

dealing with issues related to student need.

The BC Government Student Assistance Program together with the Canada Millennium

Scholarship Foundation changed some of the ways in which their funding was awarded. The sum

of student loans and grants increased by less than one-half of one percent to $42.6 million while

the number of student awards fell by eight percent to 15,600.

Undergraduate entrance scholarship funding fell slightly to

$2.55

million in 2004-05 as total

awards decreased from 684 to

554

primarily due to the decrease in Summit Entrance

Scholarships. Some 1,266 Open Undergraduate Scholarships were awarded totaling $1.4 million.

This represents a constant funding level relative to the previous year. The award cutoff for a

cumulative GPA remained at 3.70, and the payment per credit hour remained at $100.

Graduate funding during the period was increased from $3.8 million to $4.7 million of which 78

percent was awarded through Graduate Fellowships, 12 percent for President's Ph.D. Research

stipends, 6.7 percent for the C.D. Nelson Entrance Scholarships, and the remainder for Special

Graduate Entrance Scholarships.

However, the 2004-05 fiscal year ended with the Graduate Fellowship account being overspent

by $572,000. There were three reasons for this: there was an unexpected increase in the demand

for President Research Stipends that had to be met; the actual share of the tuition increase

to the

disbursements led to very inaccurate year end budget forecast. The latter problem in particular is

not expected to recur and the Dean of Graduate Studies plans to make proposals to deal with

unanticipated increases in President Research Stipend demands.

In addition, the method of awarding of Graduate Fellowships has been changed. Presently, all

Graduate Fellowships are awarded on the basis of the headcount in each graduate program.

Starting in the fall of 2006, half of all Graduate Fellowships will be awarded according to

headcount, and half will be awarded on the basis of a weighting of graduate degrees awarded in

the preceding three years. The purpose of these changes is to emphasize degree completions

rather than numbers in programs, and to underline support for research-intensive programs.

Simon Fraser University continued to fund the Work-Study Program with 541 awards costing

$608,000. This is the second year in which the University has funded these awards since the

Province discontinued them.

Other notes of interest:

• The Canadian Millennium Foundation awarded 12 students the National In-Course

Millennium Scholarships in 2004-05.

• Students who participated in the SFU International Field School programs, Foreign

Exchange programs and International Co-op received 137 bursaries totaling $221,000

---

c

• The Aboriginal Bursary Program targeted at aboriginal students in financial need made

35

awards totaling over $57,000.

• Total disbursements of Athletic awards increased by 15 percent to $480,000 primarily

arising from an increase in endowed and annual donations. Four new donor funded

athletic awards were established in 2004-05. Recreational Leadership awards totaled

nearly $80,000, an increase of 75 percent primarily due to the establishment of the new

Recreation Promotion Awards.

2004-05 (1047 - 1051) Entrance Scholarship Program

This report provides entrance scholarship data specific to intake and retention. Entrance scholarships

are available to new applicants to Simon Fraser who, at the time of admission to the University,

demonstrate academic excellence or a combination of extraordinary personal achievement and

academic excellence.

Intake for the 1047 scholarship cycle:

The September entry is the largest intake of entrance scholarship students with the great majority

entering SFU directly from high schools in BC. Entrance scholarship to students from other provinces

in Canada include the Gordon M. Shrum National Entrance scholarship and the Kenneth Strand

National Entrance Scholarship. Entrance scholarships for international students are the Shrum

International Entrance Scholarship and the International Summit Entrance Scholarship. Chart one is a

comparison of scholarships offered for 1047, vs the final Count of new entrance scholarships disbursed.

SPCSAB Report on Entrance Scholarships

Chart two provides entrance scholarship registration numbers over the past four fall intakes. New

• ?

awards include: the Lloyd-Can-Harris Entrance scholarship, awarded to a directly admitted

student to the Faculty of Business with the highest entering grade, and the H.Y. Louie Entrance

Award and the Lohn Foundation Entrance Award. Both of these entrance awards are need-based

awards jointly administered by Student Recruitment and Financial Assistance.

Summit Entrance scholarship: Previous to 1037, the Summit Entrance Scholarship was offered to

students with an entering average of 293%. From 1037 onwards, the Summit has been offered to

all applicants presenting a 2:90% avera

g

e at the time of admission. Possible contributing factors

for the drop in Summit registrants for 1047 include: more BCl2 students leaving the province to

accept offers of scholarship outside BC (the high number in 1037 may be attributed in part to

more BC students staying in the province with the double cohort in Ontario making admission to

Ontario Universities very competitive.) and an environment of increased competition for well

qualified students provincially, nationally and internationally. In 1037, offers of scholarship were

not rescinded when students fell below 2!90% on final grades. in 1047, 24 students who fell below

on final grades had their offer of scholarship withdrawn. For additional detail, please see

appendix A, comparing acceptance yields broken out by academic group, program, and award

name.

Success rates (scholarship retention): The over all success rate - based on the number of

scholarship holders who achieve 23.0 on their first semester and "retain" their scholarship - was

up slightly for the 1047 entry cohort. This number is significantly influenced by the Summit

retention rate: 66% vs. 61% for the previous year.

Senate Policy Committee on Scholarships, Awards and Bursaries

Bursary Program 2004-2005

Bursaries are awarded on the basis of financial need and satisfactory academic performance to full-time

undergraduate and graduate

students*.

Bursaries are funded through endowments and annual gifts from

donors as well as through university operating funds. Bursaries are adjudicated by Financial Assistance

on behalf of the Senate Undergraduate Awards Adjudication Committee. Information about the bursary

programs is published in the University Calendar and listed in a searchable, web accessed database.

In the 2004-05 reporting year (May 2004 - April 2005), Financial Assistance received 5,817 applications

with a total calculated financial need of $7,038,336. This represents an increase in student financial need

of $569,596 or 9% over the previous year. The University funded bursary budget increased from

$2,567,835 to $4,902,725, an increase of $2,334,890 or 91%. Individual student bursaries were awarded

at 85% of assessed need in 2004-05.

The tables below compare changes in the Bursary program over time. The SFU Open Bursaries and the

SFU Daycare Bursaries are funded by University operating funds and are disbursed from one umbrella

allocation. The Annual and Endowed Bursaries are funded through annual or long-term gifts from donor

individuals or organizations. In 2004-05 year, 10 new donor funded bursaries were established, 8 annual

donation and 2 endowment.

Included in the SFU Open Undergraduate (domestic) data reported below is funding to a World University

Services of Canada (WUSC) refugee student for three semesters. Simon Fraser University has an

agreement with the Simon Fraser Student Society to assist in the support of two students a year identified

and immigrated to Canada by WUSC. The University pays for tuition up to 12 credit hours each

semester, the athletic and recreation fee, the student services fee, residence fees (dorms only), and a

$500 start-up bursary.

SFU Open Bursaries for International undergraduate students includes funding for two groups of

students, those entering the university prior to September 2003 and those entering on or after September

2003. Bursaries for International students entering on or after September 2003 are funded through their

own tuition revenue. In 2004-05 the budget for these students was $446,750 and 305 bursaries totaling

$440,695 were awarded.

The SFU Open Graduate Bursary figures reported below includes the TSSU Child Care Bursary. This is

the fifth year of this bursary program that is included in the TSSU labour contract with the University. This

year 15 bursaries totaling $38,790 were disbursed. 14 bursaries were awarded to domestic students

($36,000) and one was awarded to an international student ($2,790)

Beginning in the 2004-05 academic year, cost recovery graduate programs were required to fund

Athletic and Recreation Awards 2004-2005

Athletic Awards

Athletic awards are available to students who are members of varsity teams at Simon Fraser University

and are awarded primarily on the basis of Athletic merit, though some awards have an academic

achievement component. There are three categories of Athletic Awards: those funded through endowed

and annual donor donations, those funded by University operating funds, and those funded by money

raised by the individual teams to support their own athletes (Athletic Tuition Awards).

The total disbursement in all three categories of Athletic Awards has increased from $416,560 in 2003-

2004 to $480,061 in 2004-2005.

Four new donor funded athletic awards, 1 annual donation and 3 endowment, were established in 2004-

2005.

r

?

Recreation Awards

Simon Fraser University supports a number of awards for students who actively support the University's

Recreation Program. The Recreational Leadership awards are given in recognition of individual

participation, leadership and volunteerism in various aspects of Recreation Services. Thirty three awards

totaling $19,800 were awarded in 2003-2004. In January 2004, a new award, the Recreation Promotion

Award, was created to further support and promote the University's recreation programs. 45 awards

totaling $61,238 were given in 2004-2005.

B.C. Athletic Assistance Program

The B.C. Athletic Assistance Program (BCAAP) is a provincial government program to support top

athletes in pursuing their education while maintaining their sport training. The funding level for Simon

Fraser University remained the same from 2001/02 to 2002/03. However, due to Canadian Interuniversity

Sport rules, some of the allocated funds could not be disbursed in 2002/03 so a portion of the funding

was disbursed in the summer semester 2003 and is counted in the 2003-2004 year

British Columbia Government Student Assistance 2004-2005

Domestic Canadian students, graduate and undergraduate, may apply through their home province to receive

funding assistance from the federal, provincial and territorial governments. Government assistance is a primary

source of funding for approximately 30% of Canadian post-secondary students. The goal of these programs is to

promote accessibility of post-secondary education among academically qualified students who do not have the

personal or family resources to meet the costs of education.

At Simon Fraser University approximately

.

24% of all undergraduate students received their primary funding

through government student assistance.

British Columbia Student Assistance Program (BCSAP)

. ?

The tables below report the number of government assistance awards and the total dollars of assistance received

by Simon Fraser students from 1994/95 to the 2004/05 award year. The first two tables report numbers for

students who are considered residents of British Columbia and are receiving funding through the BC government.

Although the numbers reflect that Simon Fraser students received $68,201 less in government student assistance

through BC in 2004/05 compared to 2003/04, this decrease can be attributed to improvements made to the report

specifications in the student information system. According to the government's statistics Simon Fraser remained

the second largest user of the assistance programs for the fourth year in a row. In 2004/05 BCSAP increased the

living allowances for all students and increased the living allowances for parents. The expected contribution from

students has decreased.

In 2004/05 the BC Grant and Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation Bursary was eliminated from the

BCSAP program. This change affected undergraduate students and is reflected in the BC/Federal Grant column in

the table below. Students who would have previously been eligible for these grants received BC loans instead.

However, to offset the increase in loan values, the BC Government, in partnership with the Canada Millennium

Scholarship Foundation, introduced the BC Loan Reduction Program. Under the program eligible students who

successfully complete each year's studies will have their BC Student Loan reduced. The amount of reduction will

vary according to the BC Loan awarded. The grant programs that remained in effect were the Canada Study Grant

for Students with Dependants, Canada Study Grant for High-Need Students with Permanent Disabilities, and

Canada Study Grant for Female Doctoral Students.

Work-Study Program 2004-2005

The Work-Study program was part of the provincial government's BC Student Assistance Program

(BCSAP) until August 2002 when the provincial program was cancelled. Provincial Work-Study was

targeted to graduate and undergraduate students who were B.C. residents and had an assessed financial

need above the maximum funding allowance through BCSAP. Commencing Fall semester 2002 the

program is funded by the University.

For the Fall semester 2002, Simon Fraser University implemented a University funded Work-Study

program with a budget of $360,000. In 2003-2004, the budget was increased to $610,000. Like the SFU

bursary program, the Work-Study program is intended to be supplemental funding for Simon Fraser

students with demonstrated financial need. The program is not restricted to BC residents nor to those

receiving BCSAP. This means that participants are no longer identified by system reporting alone so an

application and adjudication process has been implemented. The application deadline is six weeks prior

to the start of each semester and integrated with bursary adjudication process.

Senate Policy Committee on Scholarships, Awards and Bursaries

External Scholarships, Awards and Bursaries 2004-2005

Each year Simon Fraser University students receive scholarships, awards and bursaries that are

administered and adjudicated by organizations and corporations external to the University.

Scholarships, awards and bursaries in this category include: Canadian Merit Scholarship

Foundation Awards, Canadian Millennium Scholarship Foundation Merit Awards, Terry Fox

Humanitarian Awards, Canada Trust Scholarships, awards administered by the Association of

Universities and Colleges of Canada, and many others.

In the 2004-05 year, Simon Fraser undergraduates received 334 external scholarships, awards

and bursaries totaling $545,248, an increase of 19% over 2003-04, see the table below. The

awards have been categorized by the definitions used for our internal programs: scholarships are

based primarily on academic performance; bursaries are based primarily on financial need; and

awards are based on community service, excellence in a specific endeavor or a combination of

criteria.

Canadian Merit Scholarship Foundation

Included in the numbers reported below are recipients of the Canadian Merit Scholarship

Foundation awards. These scholarships are awarded to graduating high school students on the

basis of academic excellence, community service and leadership. Simon Fraser University is one

of a consortium of Canadian universities that work with the Foundation to select and support

recipients. National winners receive a four year award including an annual grant of $5,000 from

the Foundation and an annual tuition waiver to a maximum of $5,000 from the University. In

2004-2005, Simon Fraser had: 1 National winner in 4" year and 2 Provincial winners. The table

below includes the funds from the Foundation but Simon Fraser's disbursements for tuition are

reported with the Scholarships for In-Course Undergraduate Students.

Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation Awards

Also included in the numbers below are recipients of the Canada Millennium Scholarship

Foundation merit awards. These scholarships are granted on the basis of academic

performance, community service, leadership and entrepreneurship. In 2004-05, there were 7

National Award winners attending Simon Fraser University - 2 new recipients and 5 renewals, 12

Provincial/Territorial Award winners - 3 new recipients and 9 renewals, and 14 local award

winners.

The World Petroleum Congress and Canadian Millennium Foundation offered a new award in

2003-2004 to recognize students enrolling in studies related to the petroleum industry who

demonstrated academic merit and financial need. In 2004-2005 five SFU students received

these awards of $3,000 each, totaling $15,000.

Another new scholarship was also established by the Canadian Millennium Foundation in 2003-

2004. The National In-Course Millennium Scholarship recognizes upper level post secondary

students who demonstrate academic merit and leadership. 12 students were awarded the

• National In-Course Scholarship in 2004-05. 8 third level students received $4,000 each, 5

second level students, 3 new recipients and 2 renewals, received $4,000 each, and 3 first level

students, 1 new recipient and 2 renewals, received $5,000 each, totaling $62,500.

---

Financial Assistance also actively promotes the availability of and assists students with the

application process for numerous external awards that are not reported in the table below. These

awards support students' educational goals during and after studies at Simon Fraser University

but are not disbursed through the University. Awards programs in this category include the

Rhodes Scholarship, the Queen Elizabeth II BC Centennial Scholarship, and many others. In

2004-2005 Simon Fraser University students received 4 substantial scholarships from the

Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada: 2 Fairfax Scholarships valued at $5,000

renewable for two years and 1 Fessenden-Trott Scholarships valued at $9,000 renewable for two

years.

Emergency Loan Program 2004-2005

Short term (60 day), interest-free loans are available to students who require interim emergency funding

while awaiting funds from other sources. To receive an emergency loan a student must demonstrate a

guaranteed source of repayment, for example an assessed government student loan awaiting documents

or confirmation of part-time employment. Emergency loan values are usually no more than $500 but

individual award values depend on the specific circumstances of the student. Some students may

receive more than one Emergency Loan during a semester. Students must meet with a Financial

Assistance Advisor as part of the assessment process.

In previous years difficulties arising from implementation of new methods of enrollment confirmation and

centralization of government loan processing by the loan administration organizations delayed

disbursement of funds to students and increased the demand on the Emergency Loan program. Over the

past four years there has been less disruption to the disbursement of government assistance to students

and a notably positive impact on our Emergency Loan program. Administration of debt collection was

the responsibility of Financial Services who provided Financial Assistance with an annual list of bad

debts. However, with the transition to SIMS Student Financials bad debt lists were not available in 2003-

2004 and 2004-2005.

Academic and Service Awards for the University Community 2004-2005

Endowed/Annual Scholarships for In-Course Undergraduate Students

Scholarships funded through endowments and annual gifts from donors are available to continuing, full-

time undergraduate students who meet specified criteria and have a minimum cumulative grade point

average of 3.50. To be considered, students must submit applications to Financial Assistance by the end

of the second week of classes of the semester the scholarship is offered. Endowed and Annual

Scholarships are adjudicated directly by the Senate Undergraduate Awards Adjudication Committee

(SUAAC). A few of these scholarships are selected by nomination of the academic department and

confirmed by the SUAAC. Information about all of these scholarships is published in the University

Calendar and listed on the web site in a search capable format.

The table below shows the changes over time in the total number and value of scholarships for in-course

students. In 2002-03, the increase in scholarships is primarily due to 32 scholarships totaling $23,566

provided by the Ministry of Advanced Education to Surrey campus students.

11 new donor funded scholarships, 5 annual donation and 6 endowment, were established in 2004-05.

Academic and Service Awards for the University Community

Academic and Service Awards are given to students, faculty or staff for outstanding performance in an

academic area or outstanding service to the University or the community at large. These awards include

the Terry Fox Gold Medal, the BC Sugar Achievement Award, the C.D. Nelson Award, Contemporary Arts

Awards, History Book prizes and many others. Academic and Service Awards reported in the table below

are funded through donor based endowments and annual gifts or by University operating dollars.

Although no additional budget has been allocated to existing SFU funded awards, the Aboriginal Student

Leadership Award was created in 2004. Four of these awards valued at $2,000 each were awarded in

2004-2005.

In addition, 1 Canadian Merit Scholarship Foundation National Scholar received a total of $3,557 in tuition

awards. Canadian Merit Scholars receive funding of tuition costs for two, fifteen credit hour semesters a

year for four years from the University and the remainder of their funding from the Foundation (see

External Awards report for more information).

8 new awards, 6 annual donation and 2 endowment, were established in 2004-05.

Out of Province and United States Student Loans

The tables below report students who are receiving funding through other Canadian

provinces or territories and from the United States. Not all provinces advise the

institutions of assistance granted to students, particularly grant awards.

The funding received by U.S. students increased by 2.7% from 2003-2004 to 2004-2005.

U.S. students appear to be requesting maximum values on all government loan

programs available to them. The number of awards has also increased substantially

during 2004-2005 and includes subsidized and unsubsidized government loans, private

loans, and parental loans. US students receive separate disbursements in each

semester of their loan period and an increasing number of students are accessing

private loans to supplement their government loans.

Government Part-time Student Assistance and Canada Study Grants 2004-2005

Government Part-time Student Assistance

To be eligible for the federal government Part-time Canada Student Loans (PT-CSL) and

Canada Study Grant - for High-Need Part-Time Students (CSG-HNPT), students must be

registered in less than nine credit hours and have a demonstrated financial need. In 2004-2005,

98 applications were received for Part-time Loan and Grant. Of those students, 62 qualified for

grant only, loan only, or grant and loan with a total assessed need of $88,392.

Students receiving a Part-time Loan must start making payments on the interest immediately,

while still in studies. Many students who are in search of additional financial support cannot

afford to make the payments. As a result, the loan program is not well used by Simon Fraser

students. In 2004-2005, 48 students were eligible for Part-Time Student Loans with a total

award value of $53,843. Only 28 of the students requested the funding to be issued and, in the

end, only 24 students, with a total loan value of $38,389, cashed their loans. However, there is a

significant increase in the number and value of loans released from the previous year. This can

partially be attributed to an increase in undergraduate part-time student enrollment of 10 percent

in 2004-2005, and may also be due to rising tuition costs resulting in more students accessing

the part-time loan program and being eligible for greater loan values.

In order to be eligible for grant funding, students must not only demonstrate financial need but

also meet specific criteria for not studying full-time. The list of acceptable conditions for

maintaining part-time studies includes: permanent disability, medical, being a single parent,

being parent from a low income family, caring for an elderly dependent, taking prerequisites to

enter a full-time program and requiring less than nine credit hours to fulfill graduation

requirements. The CSG-HNPT program has a maximum award value of $1,200 per program

year and is well used by Simon Fraser students. In 2004-2005, 41 students received grant

awards totaling $44,446. Seven of these students also received part-time loans and are

included in the loan statistics.
