The province guaranteed almost $35,000 in loans to 257 part-time students, some of them at the University of Guelph. The loan program is also being continued on an experimental basis in this year. People interested in applying for assistance from the loan or bursary programs should contact the Student Awards office in the Physics Annex, Ext. 2746 or 3143. Also more than $175,000 has been given to part-time students under an experimental bursary program intended to assist part-time students from disadvantaged groups such as single parents, the unemployed and people on social assistance or with a low family income. An evaluation of the programs first year of operation at a few universities and community colleges shows that grants averaging $267 were awarded to 658 participants.
