So said a Queen’s principal a longtime ago. It’s the beauty of theplace, its history, its reputation forexcellence. More, it’s the people.The students, the professors, the artists and the visionaries –a community defined by its spirit of initiative. Working together,questioning, imagining, creating –making a difference.

The Queen s Student: YouQueen’s attracts students who want to excel, and who want to do. Surrounded by

bright, motivated peers, and aided and encouraged by Queen’s supportiveatmosphere, you’ll spend four years being taught by some of the finest academic mindsanywhere – 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 theclassroom. It’s working on reducing the university’s carbon footprint, or providing localschool kids with the chance to attend a summer science camp. It’s immersing yourself inQueen’s famous school spirit, by taking part in a sport or cheering from the sidelines.

What is a blended course? In Arts and Science, “blended learning” means the

thoughtful and purposeful combination of classroomlearning and online learning. The specific design of

each blended course is unique, but in general:

Expect to

• Be excited about your classes!

• Focus your classroom time on small group activities,active discussion and collaborative learning, where

you will apply, discuss, debate and engage indeeper understanding of concepts and theories

• Spend fewer classroom hours listening to lectures

• Learn the fundamentals of your course workthrough interactive online materials

and reading

• Enjoy the freedom of being able to do some of yourcourse work without leaving your home! (We think

this is really nice when going to a traditional classmight mean walking there in the middle of a

snow storm…)

• Be challenged, and learn from your professors,teaching assistants and your fellow students

59

We want to provide you with the best possible learning experiences. Studies show thatstudent learning outcomes for blended courses are as good as or better than traditionalfully face-to-face courses. A student-centred approach, and the active learning strategiesthat characterize blended courses are key to this success.

“I come from a small town, so when deciding

which university I would attend, the choice for me

was to stay close to friends and family or to step

outside my comfort zone to attend Queen’s.

Receiving a Queen’s major admission award

tipped the balance in Queen’s favour. That choice

has turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve

ever made. My advice is to get involved in

something that moves you. This community

certainly has countless opportunities for you to do

so. If you’re doing something you enjoy, you will no

doubt do it with passion and enthusiasm, and

that is what really matters. Do what you love, do it

well, and enjoy every minute of your Queen’s

QUEEN’S ADMISSION BURSARIES – APPLICATION REQUIRED

Queen’s admission bursaries are:

• an amount of money you receive to help finance your education that you do not have to pay back.

• based on financial need. We’ll look at factors such as your resources (ie. savings), expected family contributions, and anticipated government student assistance and compare this to the cost of tuition, books and living expenses.

In order to help you plan, we want you to know the value of your bursary at the same time you hear about your offer of admission. The Admission Bursary online application for 2014 will be available in October 2013 on your SOLUS student center, under the heading Financial Aid.

Each year you study at Queen’s you may apply for a Queen’s General Bursary. A Queen’s General Bursary is a non-repayable grant, based on financial need.

3 CREATE YOUR FINANCIAL PLANThere are many options to help you create a plan to finance your education. Here are two different financial plans, with a variety of funding sources you could use to pay for your education. Your own plan may not be identical to these, but they are good examples of how several funding options can fit together to help you finance your education.

TWO STUDENTS TWO FINANCIAL PLANS

These scenarios illustrate how two students haveput together a financial package to finance the first

year of their Queen’s education.

Jessica Admitted to Bachelor of Science (Honours) Class of 2018Family Income: $50,000Family size: 4First of 2 children attending universityTotal cost of first year: $22,800 James

Admitted to Bachelor of Arts (Honours)Class of 2018Family Income: $120,000Family size: 4First of 2 children attending universityTotal cost of first year: $22,800

At the heart of our need-based student assistanceprogram is the underlying objective that equality of

opportunity exists for all students regardless oftheir financial background. There is an expectation

that students and their parents willassume the primary

responsibility for educationcosts.

*The government loansand grants depicted in

the above scenarios arebased on assistanceavailable to a single

Ontario studentqualifying for OSAP.

Financial asistance fromother provinces/territories

will vary.

Money Talk!Money talk can take 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 ablend 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 15.

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 84 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• Governments, companies and organizations offer grants to students who meet certain conditions, such as financial

need, academic skill, or special ability.

• Not a loan! An amount of money you do not have to pay back.

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 arebased 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 whileyou 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 orguardian). 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.
