I. Reorganization of the Senate Committee on Scholarships,
Awards and Bursaries (SCSAB)
In the Fall of 1985 an initiative was developed by the Dean
of Graduate Studies and the Associate Vice-President, Academic,
to reorganize the Senate Committee on Scholarships, Awards and
Bursaries.
?
The reorganization identified the Dean and the
Associate Vice-President as members of SCSAB, ex-officio,
and established three committees; the Policy Committee, the
Undergraduate Adjudication Committee and the Graduate
Adjudication Committee. The reorganization also established
the Dean as Chairman of the Graduate Adjudication Committee and
the Associate Vice-President as Chairman of the Undergraduate
Adjudication Committee. The Chairman of the Policy Committee
is elected by Senate. The Chairman of SCSAB raised the issue
as to whether SCSAB continued to exist after the re-organization,.
with the three committees as sub-committees of SCSAB. The
interpretation of the Secretary of Senate was that SCSAE no
longer exists.
?
The terms of reference of the.-three independent
committees of Senate are included in this report with their
U
current membership. ?

Graduate Research Fellowships are awarded to students engaged in research
related to their thesis. The value is $3,000, for one semester, for
both Master's and Doctoral level students.
D) President's. Research Stipend
The intent of the stipend is to permit students to devote full-time
to the writing or completion of a thesis or its equivalent. Stipends
are administered on the basis of the following priorities:
a)
All Ph.D students who are in the process of writing a thesis, or
its equivalent, and who have no other major scholarships, T.A
or R.A. support.
b)
All Master's students who are in the process of writing a thesis,

d)
Other cases that may be considered by SCSAB.
The current value of the stipend is $2,400 for the Master's program
and $2,900 for the Ph.D program.
E) Special Graduate Entrance-Scholarships
During the past several years it became apparent that there was a
need for a special graduate entrance scholarship which could be part
of a total funding package. The SCSAB discussed this matter and agreed
to implement a procedure whereby a department could negotiate .a
scholarship component of a long or short term commitment to very

exceptional students who departments would like to attract to SFU.
These requests for such funding are initiated by the Chairman of
the Department with an outline of the combinations of support
proposed, durations of the commitments and a brief description of
the student and his or

background.
Upon receipt of such requests the Graduate Adjudication Committee
determines whther
invites the Chairman of the Department to a special meeting for
the purpose of discussing the viability and terms of a negotiated
scholarship.

The SFU "Disabled Graduate Student Award" provides one or more

The SFU Work-Study Program is designed to provide part-time
employment which is mutually beneficial to students and the
University. Every effort is made to provide career-related
job experience, which is primarily of a research nature.
The Work-Study Program is intended normally to supplement
Provincial and Federal student loan programs.
A student is eligible for Work-Study if he/she meets the
following criteria:

Some students are identified for Work-Study and are contacted by
mail by the Financial Aid and Awards Office, as a result of the
assessment of their student loans. Others are contacted as a
• ?
result of having been recommended by faculty members or
departmental supervisors (Project Supervisors). Occasionally
Work-Study awards are made by direct application by students to
the Financial Aid and Awards Office.
Once a student's eligibility for Work-Study is established, he/she
is referred by the Financial Aid and Awards Office to the on-campus
Canada Employment Centre for possible placement in an approved
Work-Study project.
The rate of pay is established annually.
Once a student's Work-Study award is established, and given the
normal hourly rate, supervisors and student employees arrange a
schedule of working hours suitable to both.

IV. Overview of Changes in the Graduate Program beginning 1987-1
During the past 20 years there has evolved in this University a program
of scholarships, awards and bursaries which has retained its flexibility
to respond to the changing needs of students. Simon Fraser University
has been particularly supportive of scholarships, awards and bursaries
and now allocates a greater proportion of its operating budget to
student support than does any other university in Canada.
The scholarships program as it has developed over the last 20 years
has been well received with the university and I believe has functioned
well. ?
There have been relatively few complaints. SCSAB has introduced
a constellation of mechanisms for responding immediately to unique-needs,
especially in respect to the recruitment of both undergraduate and graduate
students. The committee has introduced the Graduate Research Fellowship,
made Open Graduate Scholarships tenable for one year and established
several different entrance scholarships some of which carry two and three
year commitments. ?
Many other innovations intended to maximize the
ability of the program to deal with the diverse needs of the University
community have also been developed.
?
There have been some problems
which emerged due to restraint in the context of increasing demands,
but these have not been serious or ongoing.
?
The explicit policy of
SCSAB was to increasingly move toward awards which made longer term
commitments and to emphasise entrance scholarships in an attempt to
attract students to this university. In addition the committee has
implemented a more equal allocation of funds to graduate students and
the split is now about 50% between undergraduate and graduate support.
C

 
- 13 -
IV. continued
The committee has also encouraged the development of Work-Study programs
at the graduate levels and increased allocations to graduate bursary
programs (non-repayable grants based on need), both of which add to total
graduate student support.
However, recently there have been increasing pressures to change the
graduate student support system to one which is simpler and allows for
longer term planning on the part of both departments and students. During
the past many years there has also been much discussion of the role of
the President's Research Stipend (known as The Stipend) in respect to
whether it serves its original function and whether the funds it utilises
could be better used in other graduate scholarship programs. The Dean
of Graduate Studies initiated a series of discussions focused on the
changes in the program which would deal with these concerns.
The proposed changes were circulated to all Chairmen, Deans, V.P.s and
the President for comment.
After considering the responses received the Policy Committee approved
the following and agreed that the changes outlined below be ratified by
Senate. -- -- -

Awards are usually monetary, in nature, but may also be issued
in the form of prizes or medals. They are awarded in
recognition of extraordinary intellectual, cultural, social

graduating undergraduate student in each faculty, upon the
nomination of the respective Dean, and is presented at
Convocation.
D) Private Scholarships and Bursaries
A variety of private scholarships and bursaries are administered
by the Financial Aid and Awards Office.
E) Bursaries
Bursaries are available to students demonstrating financial need.
The purpose of the bursary is to provide students with a supplemental
source of income, which when added to other sources of income, will
help provide the funds required to defray educational expenses.
Bursaries normally will not be considered until eligibility for
Government assistance has first been determined. Bursaries are
normally awarded up to $500 or $600 and are subject to a satisfactory
academic standing.

Work-Study awards are identified in several categories, dependent
upon each student's financial need and up to a maximum level
established annually.
Some students are identified for Work-Study and are contacted by
mail by the Financial Aid and Awards Office, as a result of the
assessment of their student loans. Others are contacted as a
result of having been recommended by faculty members or
departmental supervisors (Project Supervisors).
?
Occasionally
Work-Study awards are made by direct application by students to
the Financial Aid and Awards Office.
Once a student's eligibility for Work-Study is established, he/she
is referred by the Financial Aid and Awards Office to the on-campus
Canada Employment Centre for possible placement in an approved
Work-Study project.
The rate of pay is established annually.
Once a student's Work-Study award is established, and given the
normal hourly rate, supervisors and student employees arrange a
schedule of working hours suitable to both.
