daryn Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I asked the office these two questions, but got no answer. Just wondering if you guys have any ideas: 1. Re: Section 6 - work study consideration Would the earnings be counted as a part of the bursary or are they separate? 2. Re: Section 8 - release of information In what ways the information would be used by the donors? If I do not wish to release my information, would that have any impact on my application?

lostintime Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Sorry I don't have answers to those questions, but I just wanted to comment that I really like Queen's form because they consider you separately from your parents for most people. This is the way it should be done. Why should our parents have to carry out debts? That doesn't make any sense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the way it should be done. Why should our parents have to carry out debts? That doesn't make any sense at all. Very true! Plus, I know my parents are not putting money towards my education. Not that they are mean, but they can not really afford it and if they did help I know it would cost them in their way of living. I think it is unfortunate that OSAP is set up that you have to be five years out of high school...oh well I guess if I get in this year I can apply for OSAP next.

Yeah, section 8 I find a bit curious... how would they use our info? I'm a bit reluctant to release my info to them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogopowerrangers Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hey all, I was wondering for the bursary apps, is mailing the apps to the finance office the only way we can submit the package or can we fax it as well? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webshy Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Do most students receive bursaries? I currently work full time, but will have to take out loans to pay for part of my tuition, living expenses, etc. I also have some RRSPs (more than $2000/year since high school) and a pension (but I have no access to that money). Does anyone have any thoughts on how people with a current salary are assessed? Thanks! Elaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webshy Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 When do we hear if we qualified for any bursaries? Thanks for the info! Elaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epigal Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I got my bursary results with my acceptance...and I think they said they would try to make every effort to get that info to you along with the acceptance as long as you handed in the bursary application by the deadline.

Was that with your e-mailed offer or your package in the mail? I haven't gotten the mailed package, but didn't see anything with my e-mail. Thanks for your help!

webshy Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thank you both for your responses. I called the Admissions Office today, and found out that I have not been given a bursary. (I probably have too many RRSPs, since I've been working full time for nine years.) LOC, here I come! Elaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I probably have too many RRSPs, since I've been working full time for nine years.) LOC, here I come! Elaine Another question - are there any other bursaries we can still apply for? Or, has all the money for 2008-09 already been given out? I wasn't actually expecting any money for this year; however, given that Western gave me $2100, perhaps I'm closer to being eligible than I think. (I will be going in debt for my degree.)

Thanks for the information! Elaine There is a "Queen's General Bursary" for which the application comes out around late August/early September (it will be in the monthly Registrar's newsletter), due October 31. I've heard that medical students usually get a pretty penny, especially if they didn't get an entrance bursary, so you might very well be in luck! I would definitely recommend applying.

kaymcee Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I worked the year before matriculation, and I received nothing from Queen's and a token amount ($2800) from student loans. First year will likely suck, Elaine, but in second year, when you apply as a truly poor student, things will be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelly31 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I spoke to the Awards office yesterday and they said that there is basically no deadline for the bursary application - if you qualify, they will let you know if you got it asap. So much for the $25 priority mail fee I paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
