The Registrar,

Simon Fraser University,

Burnaby 2, British Columbia.

Dear

Sir:

I sn'. writing you about the CUS-sponsored

I

egional Scholarship E%-change

W

Plan (ISE?).

7ty-cight Canadian ivcrstie currently participate

in the o-ran, and I hopa you will carefully consider the

bencfi:s

your ur.ivrsity and students could

gain

fro;s participation in !SE?.

The size of our country and the existence of diverse communitas within

it often hinder: the development of a true realization and appreciation

of what Canada is. While education should help

young Canadians to

achieve a greater understanding of all asects of our country, lack

of student m3b1ity frequently pevnts this fro:. hppaning. The

Interregional Scholarship Exehanga Plan enables students to gain

understanding of other parts of Canada and of

ways of life in other

counities byliving for one year in a new environment.

ISEP attem p ts to offset the barriers, financial and geograhic, to increased

student mobility within Canada. ISE? scholars study at a university

:side

the region in which their home university is situated, and at least one

hundred miles away from their present university. For this purpose, five

regions a r

e established: Pacific Region, Prairie Region, English Ccnral

Region, French Central Region end tlantic Region.

To participate in ISEP, a university agrees to waive tuition fees fo:

given number of students. Whatever number of fee waivers are

granted,

a corresponding number of students from that university.may apply for ISEP

scholarships elsewhere.

The plan is administered in the

llowin tanner: In December, p:ootional

material is sent to each campus and dic ibuted by the local CUS Conitee.

A

p 1ica:ions

are u ia1y made evaia'sla by the Re&istrar. In January a

section

board of stuent and administration officials reviaws the

a?

p

11catonc of in rested students. A p rovad a

pp

lications are sent on to

the CUS Secretariat in Ottawa, which forwards them to

the

university of

the zpplicants choice. Selection boards

again meet in February to

consider

the z'

p licationc of those wishing to study at their university. Students

refused by their first choice university may have their

applications

cons idered by alternate universities.

!SE? scholars are chosen on the basis of

ti•ci,ation in extracurricular

act: nvztasknoweage or aduca ona aZs, ann .ntcrest ir. and ability

to discuss academic, social, economic, end political aspects of

Canadian

life. Applicants must have compl:ed at least one year in a Canadian

university, and have a minimun second class academic average. Loth the

ISEP scholar and the universities participating in the plan

benefit from

the program. The discussion and increased awareness of other areas of

the

nation stiu-.ulated by lenders from other areas can be invaluable in

increasing the intellectual climate at a camus. ISE? scholar are urged

by CUS, which maintains comunication with them, to take an active part

in-co-curricular affairs at their exchange universi y.

SIn addition to the fee waiver granted by his host university, the 251?

scholar receives travel grants to finance travel to and from his host

university. The travel grantz are provided from a. fund annually given to

151? by the Centennial Cocmissicn. After 1967, the Federal Department

of iIanpower will provide ISE? funds. This financial aid does not. in any

real sense reduce the cost of university attendance. The travel .gra'a a-

proximately offsets the cost of one trip to and from the exchange university.

The

waiver of tuition fees should ccmpancnce for increased exenses

indidental to moving, room and board, and the waiver of provincial governant

• bursaries.

Your Student Council President has been requested to approach you about

p

ossible 231? participation for 1967-63. I hope that you will seriously

consider the plan, en. will halp to increase the opportunities for your

students and for studcnts at other Canadian univerities to benefit from

such an exchange.

.

S

Your comments about the plan will be appreciated. If your university suld

decide to p art icinte in the program, we would ask you to notify us by

November 21. If this deadline is im.ossible for you to adhere to, we

would

be happy to extend it at your request.

Thank you for your consideration. I hope that your university will find

it possible to join with other Canadian universities . in .prcmo:in educational

exchange in our Centennial year.

Yours sincerely,

-
