Szabo Mechanics — Steve Szabo Black Hawk Contracting Arnie Jansen John Petrie Mpa Westar timber Southern Wood Products FINANCIAL AID CAN HELP How to afford college Attending college cost money but perhaps not as much as you'd imagine. The advantage of attending college close to home is that it makes the financial burden much easier to bear. First, tuition at Selkirk College remains among the lowest in B.C. Next, consider transportation. You'd have to agree that commuting to a regional college on a daily basis is less expensive than attending an institution in another corner of the province. The same goes for a ion. Most ding Selkirk College live at home, thereby saving thousands of dollars over the cost of going away to school. But despite all these money-saving advantages, let's face it, attending college requires a substantial up front cash investment. That's where financial aid can help. Start with the B.C. Student Assistance program (BCSAP). The program includes the Canada Student Loan (CSL) and the B.C. Student Loan (BCSL) and is in place to assist students whose resources are insufficient to provide for the cost of full-time studies at the post-secondary level. Some eligibility requirements do exist. A student must be a Canadian citizen or a landed immigrant, a resident of B.C., a registered full-time student (currently a 60 per cent course load for Canada Student Loan and 80 per cent for BCSL) and be able to show financial need. Apply early for financial aid so that you'll know where you stand before school begins. At Selkirk College we encourage students to submit applications for assistance to the college by June 15 prior to the September they plan to enrol at the college. Applications take about 10 weeks to process. Students should not wait to be accepted by an institution before applying for financial aid. However, application procedures may vary from institution to institution. Students are advised to check with the institution they plan to attend for details about the process. In addition to applying for financial assistance, Setkirk College encourages students to investigate available scholarships, bursaries and awards as a source of aid. Selkirk College administers a program of Entry Awards, Scholarships for Academic Excellence and Bursaries for those students who can demonstrate a need for assistance. The provincial government has recently introduced two programs that should appeal to students. The B.C. Post-Secondary Scholarship Program rewards student achievers with a scholarship of up to $200 per semester for those scoring in the top 10 per cent of their class. Those in the next 20 per cent are eligible for a $100 scholarship The B.C. Student Loan Remission program rewards students for completing a course of studies by remitting 25 per cent of the principal on B.C. Student Loans. Students qualifying for the special geographic factor are eligible for 33 per cent remission of the negotiated B.C Student loan principal When planning a budget for an academic year students should consider tuition fees, books and supplies, local transportation, accommodation, travel to and from their home if relocating to attend Selkirk College, and miscellaneous items. Cost may run approximately $5,500 to $6,500 per academic year. Single students living at home require less money and should plan on spending about $1,700 per academic year. If you have any questions call the Selkirk College Financial Aid office in Castlegar, 365-7292 or the Rosemont Campus in Nelson, at 352-6601. terms students are prepared for employment as entry level programmers or junior analysts in small to large scale organizations operating micro-mini, or mainframe computer systems.
