There are many options to help you finance your education. Here’s how two students with different
financial backgrounds financed their first year at Queen’s. Your own plan may not be identical

you finance your education.

TWO STUDenTS TWO fInAnCIAL PLAnS
These scenarios illustrate how two students have put together a financial package to finance the first year of their
Queen’s education.
At the heart of our need-based student assistance program is the underlying objective that equality of opportunity exists
for all students regardless of their financial background. There is an expectation that students and their parents will assume
the primary responsibility for education costs.
* The government loans and grants depicted in the above scenarios are based on assistance available to a single ontario
student qualifying for oSAP. Financial asistance from other provinces/territories will vary.
**oSAP grants may be comprised of both up-front Grants [i.e. ontario Tuition Grant (oTG) or an ontario Access Grant (oAG)]
and the ontario Student opportunity Grant (oSoG).](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/queens-viewbook-151124193616-lva1-app6891/75/Queens-university-viewbook-89-2048.jpg)

Surrounded by bright, motivated peers, and aided and encouraged by Queen’s supportive atmosphere, you’ll spend four years being taught by some of the finest academic minds anywhere – acclaimed philosophers and social scientists, innovative engineers and first-rate scientists. Queen’s challenges students intellectually, and they rise to the challenge. But for Queen’s students, the university experience is more than what happens in the classroom. It’s working on reducing the university’s carbon footprint, or providing local school kids with the chance to attend a summer science camp. It’s immersing yourself in Queen’s famous school spirit, by taking part in a sport or cheering from the sidelines.
- 5. Queen’s students comefrom more than 70 countries and all across Canada, and from every imaginable background – small towns and suburbs, urban highrises and First Nations communities. You’ll meet people like yourself – and others who are very different. Your fellow students will be among the most interesting, creative and provocative individuals you will ever encounter. They will challenge you. You won’t always agree with them, but you will get a big part of your university education from them, in conversations over meals or in late night discussions in residence rooms. The Queen’s experience doesn’t end with graduation. The friendships you make will last the rest of your life. Wherever you go, whatever path you choose – business or government, law or medicine, the media or the arts – you will find and work with fellow Queen’s graduates. An international, cross-generational community of excellence, people committed to dreaming and doing, to living the Queen’s spirit. 88.4% Incoming Average of the 1st year class:

At Queen’s student experience has purpose and meaning and it will take you places. It will help you achieve your hopes for the future—whatever that might be! A career? Future study? More research? Want to save the world? Come to the school where 23,000 students and 140,000 alumni started their future. A Road Map to Your Future It’s a road map that we have been using for over 170 years to educate future leaders and it works. We asked a few of our most recent graduates what they had to say about their student experience with a purpose. 1 Get the courses you need Economics challenged both the analytical and creative sides of my brain. I wrote essays and read books, solved math problems and dealt with graphs and data manipulation. This was really important to me, I wouldn’t be able to pick one way of thinking/learn- ing over the other, and economics at Queen’s understands that these two approaches are complimen- tary. Secondly, the professors in the department were kind, intelligent and made me care about what I was learning. Fanny, Bachelor of Arts (Honours), Economics, 2013. Now a Brand Planner at an Advertising Agency. 2 Get relevant experience I honed my communication skills (both verbal and written), prioritized and managed a variety of proj- ects, and learned to adapt my working style to match group dynamics during group assignments. In my upper year seminars, I often had to research a topic and lead a class discussion. Those experiences have helped me adapt to the working world, as the skills I gained transferred into the workplace. Lara, Bachelor of Arts (Honours), Medial in Psychology and English, 2011. Now an Admission Coordinator. 3 Get connected with the community I met a lot of people and they were often the ones that told me about career opportunities and helped me develop interpersonal skills that are necessary for my current job. Being involved in such a variety of activities also gave me a very broad knowledge of the Queen’s community, which is important in my job and when relating to others. Alastair, Bachelor of Arts (Honours), Psychology, 2014. Now works at Queen’s.

They are designed to help you take advantage of your Student Experience so that you can get where you want to go… and maybe have some fun doing it. careers.queensu.ca/majormaps 4 Get thinking globally Coming to the realization to switch careers from nursing to pursuing a masters in public health was largely due to my extra-curricular experiences on Queen’s Health outreach. By travelling to a First Nations community in Northern ontario, I was able to immerse myself in the community-level health. As a volunteer student, teaching health education in the elementary school and working with the community members was an eye-opening, but incredible, experience. To this day, my experience continues to shift my focus towards Canadian health policy, community develop- ment initiatives, and global health Eric, Bachelor of Physical Health Education (Honours), 2012. Now preparing for graduate study. . 5 Get ready for life after graduation Playing on a varsity team taught me a lot about teamwork. From sitting on the bench as a rookie, to being captain in my upper years, I learned about how to work as a team, how to work hard, how to lead and how to follow. It also taught me the direct corre- lation between the amount of effort I put in (be it at the pool, weight room or library) and results. Ian, Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Philosophy, 2012. Now Regulatory Analyst for an Independent Power Producer. LIFEstudent

What better way to learn than to immerse yourself in a new culture and a new language by going on exchange? or maybe you’ve decided you would really love to involve yourself in deeper study of a particular topic. Why not visit the university that is doing ground-breaking research in that area? Students go on exchange for many reasons. What will your reason be?

- 91. moneyTalk! Money talk cantake on a language of its own. This glossary will help you decipher some of the student financial assistance terminology. Award • Is non-repayable – an amount of money you receive to assist you in financing your education that you do not have to pay back. • Is a general term used to describe a scholarship or bursary. In some cases, the term award is used when there is a blend of academic, financial need and/or other criteria associated with the terms of the award. • All Queen’s admission awards will be deposited in your student fee account by August 1. Bursary • Is non-repayable – an amount of money you receive to assist you in financing your education that you do not have to pay back. • Based on an assessment of your financial need (see page ) for more information on Queen’s admission bursaries). Admission Scholarship • Is non-repayable – an amount of money you receive to recognize your academic achievement. • Based on academic excellence (your high school grades). Sometimes also referred to as a merit-based award. • In some cases, there may be other criteria such as involvement in school and community. renewable awards • Is non-repayable. • Renewable scholarships and awards are available to students as they enter the university. These awards are available to the recipients in future years as long as the renewal criteria are satisfied during each year of study at Queen’s. Grant • Not a loan! An amount of money you do not have to pay back. • Governments, companies and organizations offer grants to students who meet certain conditions, such as financial need, academic skill, or special ability. Loan • Money you receive that must be paid back, usually over a period of time. • Loans under government student assistance programs are interest-free while you are a full-time student and are based on financial need.You will begin to repay loans when you cease to be a full-time student. Some provinces/territories within Canada may have programs which reduce the amount of repayable loans. • A student line of credit is a loan from a financial institution (ie. commercial bank).You pay only the interest while you are in school.You begin repayment of the principal after you have graduated. unlike government student loans, a student line of credit is not based on financial need. To qualify, you usually require a co-signer (eg. parent or guardian).You can apply for a student line of credit at most major Canadian banks. reSP • A Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) is a special savings plan that many families have used to save for their child’s post-secondary education. Work Study Program • Provides students with demonstrated financial need, priority for certain part-time jobs on campus and for jobs with not-for-profit organizations. FINANCE
