Terms of Reference and Summary of disbursements made under
programmes sponsored or administered by Simon Fraser University.
4.1 Simon Fraser University Open 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.
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 1973.

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.
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.
8...!
-8-
4.1 continued
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 satisfactory 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 1973, of
Simon Fraser University Open Scholarships and Scholarships
donated by individuals or organizations external to Simon
Fraser University, but administered by Simon Fraser University.
For Information: ?
Supplements are amounts awarded to
students receiving privately donated scholarships and who
would otherwise qualify for a Simon Fraser University
Scholarship of higher value.
Pro-rations are the reduced value of scholarships earned by
students enrolled in less than full course loads .during the
qualifying semesters.
For the summary relating to Simon Fraser Open Scholarships
for the 1973 - 1 and 1973 - 3 semesters, the Grade Point
Average Range for all faculties is the same.

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.
All undergraduate. students are eligible for consideration
provided that they have achieved a most recent semester
grade point average of 2.0 or greater. Students who are
attending Simon Fraser University 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.
The majority of bursary funds expended during each
semester is disbursed on the first day of classes with
a smaller amount being disbursed during the course of the
semester. The following table ref}ects the amount of
money disbursed during 1973, through the Simon Fraser Open

Bursary Plan and 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).

The Government of British Columbia changed the character
and name of these scholarships effective April 1, 1973.
The scholarships have been renamed Government of British
Columbia Scholastic Awards.
The Provincial Government will give an award 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 programme of undergraduate
studies extending through one semester. These awards are
open for competition at the end of each semester and may
be granted up to a maximum of 17% of the number of
students registered in a minimum of 15 semester hours.
To be eligible for these awards a student must be a
Canadian citizen who has resided
in
the province of British
Columbia for not less than twelve consecutive months
• ?
preceding the first day of the month in which he commenced
the qualifying period of post-secondary studies, or he
may be one who has been a landed immigrant for at least
twelve consecutive months and who fulfils the above
criteria of residence in the province of British Columbia.
These Scholastic Awards will not be granted to students
whose average standing in all courses of full programme
in the qualifying session is less than 2.69.
To be eligible for one of these awards each candidate will
be required to submit an application on a form available
from the Financial Aid Office. The application form
must be completed in full and may be subject to verification.
Applications for these Scholastic Awards must be in the
hands of the Financial Aid Officer before the last day of
lectures of each semester. The Award will be given to a

Institutions in British Columbia calculate the number
of Scholastic Awards available to the student population
of any given semester as 17% of those students registered
in a "full-course load". We, at Simon Fraser University,
had calculated the number of Scholastic Awards as 17% of
those students enrolled in a minimum of 12 semesterhours.
Effective Summer 1973, the Government of British Columbia
.
?
required that institutions calculate the number of Scholastic
Awards available as 17% of those students registered
in a minimum 15 semester hours. This resulted in a
significant decrease in awards available to Simon Fraser
University students in the Summer and Fall Semesters 1973.

5.12 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 educational 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
by 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 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.
*with the exception of the Province of Quebec.
- 26 -
.
.
5.12 continued
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 M.
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.
Confirmation of enrolment must be obtained during the
semester concerned, and cannot be made retroactive.

Education for the Government of British Columbia indicates

5.13 British Columbia Government Bursaries
The Government of the Province of British Columbia annually
provides funds to assist students who are residents of
this province to commence or to continue an acceptable
full time programme of post-secondary study at designated
post-secondary institutions.
The Provincial Bursary 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 Bursaries are free
grants of 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 Bursaries Plan and the
Canada Student Loans Plan make available means to supplement
40 ?
funds available from the student/family resources.
The British Columbia Provincial Bursary 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 Bursary 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.
There are four categories of bursaries. The amount of that
granted to an applicant for assistance depends upon the total
amount of his financial need as determined under the
Regulations of the Canada Student Loans Plan, and as
?
-
recommended to the British Columbia Student Aid Committee.
To qualify for the grant of a Province of British Columbia
Bursary (money that does not have to be repaid), a student
must:
.

5.13 continued
1)
comply with the criteria of the Canada Student
Loans Plan as administered by the Provincial
Authority of British Columbia
2)
submit in accordance with the instructions stated
on the form a fully completed Application for
Financial Assistance
3)
have been resident in the Province for not less than
twelve months prior to the first day of the month
in which he commences in the programme of study
for which he seeks financial assistance. In the
case of students qualifying under the provisions
of (b) and (c) above, the year of residence within
this Province need not be that immediately
preceding this academic session, but the provision
exists that the student shall not have established
residence of twelve consecutive months (excluding
. ?
periods of study) in another province or country
4)
have completed successfully his last previous full-
time full course load for an academic year of two terms
or two semesters, without a failure in any course
requisite for unconditional admission to the next
higher academic session. Students allowed to
advance while carrying a deficiency of academic
credits will not be eligible for assistance under
the Provincial Bursary Plan until the deficiency
is cleared.
During 1973, 732 students attending Simon Fraser University
received $198,500.00 from the British Columbia Government
Bursary Plan. This amount provided an average award of $271.00.
These figures are provided by the Department of Education and
are considered misleading. Although they are the only statistics
available, they do not provide for a separation of awards by
semester. Consequently, the number of recipients is aecreasea
by that number who received two semester awards. The net effect
is to unrealistically inflate the average size award per student
per semester.
