      willing
      to
      make
      it
      a
     
     
      priority!
      Any

      1)
      HELPING
      students
      by
      increasing
      assistance
      available
      under
      the
      Provincial
      Bursary
     
     
      Program.
      Currently,
      bursaries
      are
      available
      only
      to
      the
      few
      students
      who
      qualify
      for
      a
     
     
      full
      Federal
      student
      loan.
      This
      makes
      Provincial
      assistance
      impossible
      for
      most
      students
      —
     
     
      and
      a
      relatively
      modest
      increase
      in
      assistance
      to
      students
      through
      this
      program
      would
      help
     
     
      many
      students
      who
      are
      in
      severe
      financial
      trouble

      College.
      The
      present
      freeze
      on
      funding
     
     
      mortgages
      P.E.1.'s
      future
      and
      is
      an
      irresponsible
      education
      policy.
      Institutions
      cannot
      be
     
     
      expected
      to
      maintain
      present
      standards
      under
      such
      conditions.
      Tuition
      increases
      are
      only
     
     
      one
      of
      the
      many
      ways
      that
      students
      feel
      the
      effect
      of
      inadequate
      funding.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Budget
      deficits
      are
      not
      an
      excuse
      to
      create
      a
      human
      deficit.
      P.E.I.
     
     
      cannot
      afford
      to
      make
      post-secondary
      education
      impossible
      for
      ordinary
     
     
      people!
