Please find attached a report from SCSPB arising from referrals made earlier 

by Senate to SCSAB for further consideration, on the undergraduate scholarship 

program proposals. 

SCSAB is recommending that Senate grant approval to Sections I and II, as 

outlined in the attached documentation. 

In order that members of Senate will have a full understanding of the overview 

of the program and related details, I am attaching for information 111(A) and 111(B). 

The interrelationship between elements of the overall program is outlined in the 

theoretical Budget, 111(B), which approximates the 1982/83 Budget assuming that 

the President's Entrance Scholarships had been implemented for 1982/83.

I. Proposed Undergraduate Scholarship Program 

The intent of the new program is to identify highly qualified students 

and to award scholarships to these students through an adjudication 

process. ? 

The program is designed such that tenure of the scholarships 

awarded will normally fall within an annual ramework. 

1.

To qualify for the first time, students will be required to have 

completed at least 30 credit hours at S.F.U. 

2.

The main adjudication for scholarships will occur once per year, 

normally late in August, subject to the qualifications in (4) below. 

3.

Tenure of scholarship will be for 3 semesters beginning In September. 

The value of the scholarship will be equal to the tuition actually 

paid by the student in these semesters. A minimum CPA will be 

established annually to determine eligibility of students to apply 

for a scholarship and to continue receiving disbursements during 

tenure of the scholarship. However, no student who has a cumulative 

GPA of less than 3.5, will be considered eligible for the 

?

scholarship. Normally the required cumulative CPA will exceed 3.5. 

4.

Those students who do not normally qualify for the August adjudication 

will be eligible to apply for scholarships in the other two semesters. 

The tenure of these scholarships will be adjusted to bring the 

scholarship program of these students "into phase" with the scholarship 

program (as in #3 above). 

?

5.

The committee will give consideration to the following guideline: 

"the committee will take into account the nature of the student's 

courseload in its adjudications of undergraduate scholarships." 

II. President's High School Entrance Scholarships: 

1.

One scholarship will be available to each B.C. High School, 

except as outlined in #4 below. 

2.

Students eligible to receive a scholarship must have achieved either: 

a)

a high school CPA of at least 3.5 (or) 

b)

a high school average of at least 80%, 

in those grade 11 and 12 academic subjects normally used to establish 

qualifications for admission into S.F.U. 

3. Scholarship candidates will be recommended to S.F.U. by the principal 

of each high school. 

?

II.

4. The principal may recommend up to 3 students ranked in order of 

.

?

priority. Each school will be guaranteed one scholarship to the 

top-ranked student, providing the requirements in #2 above are 

met. In the event scholarships are not utilized by some schools, 

these scholarships may be disbursed to the second and third ranked 

students of other schools. The size of the student population of 

high schools may be taken into account in this re-distribution. 

5. The-student's transcript must accompany the names of students 

submitted by the principal of the school to S.F.U. 

III. 

FOR INFORMATION 

Sections III (A) and III (B) are provided for additional information 

so as to give an overview of the undergraduate scholarship program. 

The interrelationship between elements of the overall program is 

outlined in the theoretical budget, III (B), which approximates the 

1982-83 budget, assuming that the President's entrance scholarships 

had been implemented for 1982-83. 

A. OTHER ENTRANCE SCHOLARSHIPS: 

1.

Shrum Scholarships: 12 scholarships per annum, valued at 

$1,100 per semester for 9 semesters. 

2.

Diamond Scholarships: 3 scholarships per annum valued at 

$2,000. 

3.

Other Entrance Scholarships: 

a)

University and College Transfer, valued at 2 semesters 

tuition. 

b)

National, Provincial or related examination or competition 

winners; other outstanding high school applicants; and others, 

valued at a minimum of 2 semesters tuition, but variable 

upwards at the discretion of the committee. 

All undergraduate scholarships mentioned above will be adjudicated 

by ScSAB. The terms of the Shrums and Diamonds remain essentially 

the same with a slight increase in value for the Shrums.
