SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION DELAY

Application delay for Alberta scholarships and awards

Aug 6, 2019 | 6:19 AM

EDMONTON- Some Alberta students are facing uncertainty after changes to the application process for Government of Alberta scholarships and awards.

Applications are normally submitted in early August, but those for the 2019-2020 school year are not being made available until late in the fall.

The Alberta Student Aid website says a major technology upgrade expected to be complete by late autumn will streamline the application and payment process for scholarships and awards.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Advanced Education says in an email statement that the government recognizes students and families are eager to apply.

The statement says the ministry will provide an update soon.
