Colleges to benefit cont...

Fraser noted that colleges, too, will be able to
compete with schools and universities for funding
of special initiatives from the $119 million
Excellence in Education fund.

"Because colleges, unlike schools, do not have
access to the residential property tax base to
increase their funding levels, it is important that
colleges proceed with imagination to develop
proposals for the fund to get their fair share of
the special initiatives’ funding, he said.

"L intend to be the advocate in Cabinet--which
is to approve proposals on a merit basis--for
colleges and universities to ensure equitable
distribution of the funds and will be working
closely with college officials over the next few
weeks to assist them in developing specific
proposals," he said. :

Fraser noted he will be making a further
announcement concerning student aid funding in
the next few days. .
