Where is my money?

by Ian Hunter

.have you wondered where
your long awaited student
loan is?That is the question
being asked by Awards
Administrator Julie Steel, ‘I
don’t know what is taking
them so long...a lot of
people do not seem to be
receiving their loans’.

.’People who applied for
their loans by July should
have recieved their loans by
Sept Ist- that hasn’t been
the case’. she said.

* For people who do not
have their tuition money
because they have not
received their loans yet,
they can get their tuition
deffered.

.For those people who are
in an emergancy situation

 

there are emergency stud

ent loans for up to $200...
but it has to be for specific
amounts; so much for rent,

food, etc.’

I don’t know how many
people have not been re-
ceiving their loans, if they
(the students) phone and
tell us about it we know, if
they don’t we have no way
of knowing who has reciev-
ed their loans and who
hasn’t ...but there does
seem to be an _ unusual
number of people not re-
cieving their student loans.’
says Steel.

.The Ubyssey, UBC's  stu-
dent newspaper, reported
last week that the mail
strike was the cause of the
delay.

.Ministry officials refused,
however, to conferm that.

Fewer and fewer students
are applying for scholarships
every year in B.C., according
to Douglas College’ s former
awards officer Jim.  Ander-
son.

“*Students don’t have to
compete,’’ he said. ‘‘Many
are eligible, but they have to
apply.’’
last year there were about 16
students with a 4.0 GPA but
none applied. ‘‘Only about
one in four eligible students
apply,’’ said Anderson.

Julie steele, head of the
Financial Aid dept. said,
“‘Most awards can be appli-
ed for at the donor and many
are automatically given to
the top students.’’

“‘There doesn’t seem to be
any interest in scholarsh-
ips’, said Anderson.

Meanwhile two top Doug-
las College graduates, Ray-
mond Burns and Hermance
De Boer, were presented with
Chartered General Account-
ants awards Sept. 23 by CGA
Bill Bruce. The awards will
pay about $800 for their first
year in the program at UBC.

.Mary Browning, cue
administrator for the De-
ment of Education could not
be reached for comment .

.Jack Huntly, information
officer for the Minister of
education in Victoria said
"We don’ know of any

specific cases of students
not receiving their loans but
we are very concerned if
this is happening and would
like to have the names of
any students who have not
received their student loans
so we can look into the
matter.‘

.Julie Steel said that it was
not in her authority to
release such names.

.The computer branch of
the provincial bureaucracy,
B.C. Systems Corp., was
also contacted.

. Warren Brown, the person*
reputedly in charge of thé
processing of student loans,
could not be reached for
comment. To be continued.
