4.1 Simon Fraser University Scholarships
University Scholarships ranging in amounts up to $300.00
are available to Simon Fraser University undergraduates
on a competitive basis. These scholarships are open to
any student in any Faculty who has attended at least one
semester at Simon Fraser University and who applies.
These scholarships are awarded on the basis of scholastic
achievement measured in terms of the Fine Grade Point Scale.
This scale provides a mechanism to weight pluses and minuses
?
• ?
awarded in the letter grade system. The following equivalents
were used during 1974.

The Grade Point Average used in Scholarship consideration is
calculated on the most recent three semesters of attendance,
or 36 semester hours. The averages for candidates who have
?
•
?
not yet completed 36 semester hours are calculated on the
• number of hours which have been completed.
-9-
4.1 continued
•
Normally to be eligible for University sponsored scholarships,
the academic standing under consideration should have been
attained in a full-time programme of 12 semester hours or more.
The candidate should also be registered in 12 or more semester
hours in the semester in which the scholarship is given.
Normally, scholarships are awarded for one semester. ?
In those
cases where a scholarship extends over a period of more than
one semester, payment of the second and/or third portion of the
scholarship is conditional upon the student obtaining a satisfac-
tory standing in the immediately preceding semester.
While the student may have the honor of winning more than one
scholarship during the semester, the Senate Committee will, in
most cases, grant the monetary value of the second scholarship
to the next qualified student.
The winner of a scholarship, if he or she so desires, may
retain the honor of the award, but decline the monetary value.
Any funds thus made available will be used for additional
awards.
The following tables represent the distribution, in 1974, of
Simon Fraser University Open Scholarships and Private Scholarships
donated by individuals or organizations external to Simon Fraser
University.
For Information: Supplements are amounts awarded to students
receiving privately donated scholarships and who would other-
wise qualify for a Simon Fraser University Scholarship of higher
value.

4.3 Simon Fraser University Open Bursaries
.
?
Simon Fraser University offers a large number of non-
repayable grants to students demonstrating financial need
and whose academic record is satisfactory. These bursaries
are intended to provide students with a supplemental
source of income, which, when added to other major sources
of income will provide the funds required to defay
Educational Expenses. The value of these grants range to
$225.00 per semester.
Eligibility for consideration previously was open only to
undergraduate students who had achieved a most recent semester
gross grade point average of 2.0 or greater. The Senate
Committee temporarily suspended the 2.0 G.P.A. requirement
in the summer semester of 1974 as it could have been unduly
punishing students on academic trial. Subsequent evaluation
has led to the removal of the 2.0 requirement on a trial basis,,
for one year, to be reviewed at the end of the fall semester,
1975. Students who are attending S.F.U. for the first time
are also eligible.
Candidates are required to complete an application form
detailing their financial situation. Information concerning
the expense and income for each candidate is carefully
evaluated. A large number of applicants are required to present
themselves for an interview in the Financial Aid Office to
provide supplementary information or to present a more detailed
summary of their financial situation.
- 14 -
4.3 continued
The majority of bursary funds expended during each semester
S
?
is disbursed on the first day of classes with a smaller
amount being disbursed during the course of the semester.
The following table reflects the amount of money disbursed -
during 1974, through the Simon Fraser Open Bursary Plan and
private bursaries administered by Simon Fraser University and
sponsored by individuals or organizations external to Simon
Fraser University.
The figures listed under disbursements reflect the funds
initially expended. Approximately 7% of all monies expended
are returned to the fund due to pro-rations and student
withdrawal.
Students must register in a minimum 12 semester hours in order
to receive the full value of the amount awarded. Awards made
.
?
to students who register in less than 12 hours will be reduced
in a proportionate basis (e.g. a $150.00 bursary will be
reduced to $75.00 if the student registers in 6 hours which is
6/12 or 1/2 full time enrolment).

British Columbia Government Scholastic Awards
The Senate Committee on Scholarships, Awards and Bursaries
awarded B.C. Government Scholarships to the top 17% of the
full-time students for the spring and summer semesters only
of 1974, specifically these awards were of a value of $100.00 to
each of a number of the top ranking eligible students attending
Simon Fraser University on the basis of their standing upon
completion of a full program of undergraduate study extended
through one semester. These awards were open for competition
at the end of each semester to students registered in a maximum
of 15 semester hours.
The Government decided to curtail this program, effective
August 31, 1974 and in its place introduced a new financial aid
program, details of which are described in section 5.2. The
province, in taking this action, does thereby afford no
official recognition to students of scholarly attainment. The
following summary represents the British Columbia Scholastic
Awards granted by Simon Fraser University during the months of
January to August, 1974.

5. Terms of Reference and Summary of Disbursements made under
programmes sponsored and administered by organizations external
to Simon Fraser University
5.1 The Government of Canada Student Loans Plan
This is a plan introduced by the Federal Government to assist
students who, without loan assistance, would be unable to
pursue full time post-secondary studies at a specified educa-
tional institution. The maximum loan for an academic year is
$1,400.00. Total loans to any student cannot exceed $9,800.00.
A loan of up to $700.00 may be authorized for a single
semester which is part of a longer programme of study. Borrowers
under the plan are required to repay principle and interest by
regular monthly instalments.
Payments commence six months after the borrower ceases to be
a full time student at a specified educational institution.
No payments are made while the borrower is a full time student
nor for six months thereafter. Interest during this period is
paid by the Federal Government on behalf of the student.
Need for loan assistance is determined by Provincial Loan
authorities in accordance with administrative criteria established
*
for use throughout Canada.
?
A parental contribution table is
an integral part of the criteria and is applied in all cases
where the student has not established financial independence as
defined in the Canada Student Loans Plan. Students are expected
to save a substantial amount of any income from summer or other
employment. Lack of funds due to unessential spending may not
be considered as unavoidable need for loan assistance. Students
*with the exception of the Province of Quebec.
- 23 -
5.1 continued
who apply for loans should consider carefully the repayment
obligation being undertaken.
A student in need of a Canada Student Loan, must, as a
first step, obtain an application form from the institution
he or she plans to attend. The application must be completed
carefully and accurately by the student, and where applicable,
by his or her parents. Applications require declarations by
both the student and his/her parents that all information
provided is correct.
When the application is completed it must be submitted to
the Financial Aid Officer of the British Columbia educational
institution to be attended. Students planning to attend
institutions outside of British Columbia will send applications
directly to: Student Affairs Branch, Division of Post-Secondary
Services, Department of Education, 535 Yates Street, Victoria,
B.C. V8W
2Z6.
If the student's application is approved, the student will
receive in the mail a Certificate of Eligibility. The student
must take the Certificate to the Financial Aid Office for
signature confirming registration. The student then takes it
to his or her bank and the loan is put through the student's
account. Students are advised to keep in constant touch with
the bank from which they secure their loan.
In order to retain their interest free status, students must
obtain a Schedule
2
form from their bank and have their full
• ?
time enrolment confirmed each semester by the Financial Aid
Office.
- 24 -
5.1 continued
Confirmation of enrolment must be
obtained during the
semester concerned,
and cannot be made retroactive.
The following
statistics provided by the Department of
Education for
the Government of British Columbia indicates
the amount of support provided by
Canada Student Loans to
students attending Simon ?
Fraser University during 1974.
They are not
entirely accurate as
the Department of Education
does not keep statistics by semester.

It is important to realize that the difference between

British Columbia Government Bursaries (Grants-In-Aid)
• ?
1. The Government of the Province of British Columbia has
annually provided funds to assist students who are residents
of this province in commencing or continuing an acceptable
full-time program of post-secondary study at designated
post-secondary institutions.
2.
The Provincial Grants Plan is administered in conjunction
with the Canada Student Loans Plan, its purpose being to
enable qualified needy students to reduce the amount of
indebtedness they must incur to continue their post-secondary
education. As the Provincial Grants are free money from
public funds, students and the parents of students defined
under the Plan as Financial dependents must accept the
principle that they are primarily responsible for provision
of the funds required for the expenses of post-secondary
education. The Provincial Grants Plan and the Canada Student
Loans Plan make aiailable means to supplement funds available
from the student/family resources.
3.
The British Columbia Provincial Grant is available only to
those students who are proceeding to a diploma or a first
degree at the undergraduate or equivalent level of a post-
secondary programme of study. A Provincial Grant will not
be granted to students in Post-Graduate Studies, nor to
those registered as "qualifying" or "unclassified". These
bursaries may be granted only to students in full attendance
in a full programme of undergraduate or equivalent level
of post-secondary studies.
- 26 -
4. On September 1, 1974 the Provincial Government dramatically
changed its previous formula for granting of bursaries and
renamed this form of financial assistance a Grant-In-Aid.
A more complete report concerning the mode of operations for
the period January 1 - August 31, 1974 when Bursaries were
distributed, is available in last year's Annual Report.
This report will contain itself to the new financial
assistance program of the Department of Education which
commenced September 1, 1974.
Grants-In-Aid are made available to students who meet the
qualifications and criteria for the Canada Student Loans
Program, and are usually made in conjunction with a Canada
Student Loan. Under the new program the first $100.00 of
demonstrated need per semester is an outright grant-in-aid.
The balance of the need is made up of both loan and grant
on a 50% grant, 50% loan basis to a total maximum grant of
$750.00 including the initial $100.00 and the maximum loan
of $700.00 per semester for a total of $1,450.00 per semester;
$2,900.00 per education year.
During the months January - September 1974, 809 students
attending Simon Fraser University received $220,360.00 from
the B.C. Government Bursary Plan. For the months September -
December 1974, 1,170 students attending this university
received Grants-In-Aid in the amount of $912,220.00. These
figures are provided by the Department of Education and are
not entirely accurate as they do not fall neatly into the
• ?
January 1 - December 31, 1974 period which this report covers.
They are, however, the only statistics available.
- 27 -
5.2 continued
.
The dramatic increase in the amount of money for the period
September to December results from the Department of Educations's
new financial aid program which has been previously described
and which has received wide publicity throughout the province.
It is worthy to note, herein, that the official publications
pertaining to this program are most misleading, especially
concerning the purported maximum of $2,900.00 per education
year (2 semesters) to eligible post-secondary undergraduate
students through a combination of non-repayable student grants
and Canada Student Loans. In reality the maximum amount of
money that a student in attendance at this university can
receive is $2,460.00. The reason for the discrepancy is that
the Department of Education has placed a limit on the amounts
of monies it will recognize as legitimate expenses for a
student to incur. The real maximum will vary slightly from
institution to institution depending upon fees, commuting
distance from the city, etc.
