Students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) found at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Redeemer’s FAFSA code is G33485. Students should then complete the Master Promissory Note online, found at www.StudentLoans.gov. Students must inform the Financial Aid Office at Redeemer that this is done by emailing financialaid@redeemer.ca. Based on the SAR and the student’s level of study, Redeemer will certify the issuance of a Stafford Loan. It can be subsidized (interest is paid by the government while you are in school), unsubsidized (you pay each month’s interest on the loan while you are in school) or a portion of each. Parents may also apply for a PLUS loan. Further information is available by visiting www.students.gov or by contacting the Financial Aid Office. Other Financial Assistance On-Campus Employment A limited number of on-campus student jobs are available each year. Assignments for most positions are made based on financial need. Some placements are made by appointment and some are filled based on specific qualifications. The maximum number of hours per week that a student can work is 10, although most students work on average about 5 hours per week. Some students are restricted to fewer hours by the terms of their admission. Possible jobs include security, custodial services, secretarial, information technology, the library and the athletic centre. Application forms for incoming students can be found at www.redeemer.ca/financing. Application forms for returning students can be found at www.redeemer.ca/finaid. Redeemer Student Fund Loan Loans are available to students with financial need to assist them in meeting the costs of their year of study at Redeemer University College. Students must have applied for government student financial aid in order to be eligible for these funds. These loans are available to eligible North American students who have exhausted every other source of financial aid, including scholarships and bursaries, employment, and government assistance programs. Those who still require additional resources will be considered for a Redeemer Student Fund Loan. These loans are interestfree as long as the student remains enrolled full-time at Redeemer. 25
The Redeemer Student Fund Loan features a forgiveness factor. The longer a student remains enrolled full-time at Redeemer, the larger the percentage of the loan that will be forgiven, up to a maximum of 80%. Transcripts will be withheld if students default on established payment plans as described on the applicable promissory note. • Complete one year of study, 20% of the loan will be forgiven. • Complete two years of study, 40% of the loan will be forgiven. • Complete three years of study, 60% of the loan will be forgiven. • Complete four years of study, 80% of the loan will be forgiven. Funds are applied to student accounts, half at the beginning of each term. Redeemer Student Fund Loans are not available to fifthyear students except those who are in a five-year program, namely the Education Program or the Business Co-op Program. Application forms can be obtained from www.redeemer.ca/financing for incoming students and www.redeemer.ca/finaid for returning students. Interest Relief Bursary The Interest Relief Bursary is awarded to students who require a bank loan to help them meet the costs of Redeemer University College. Awards are made on the basis of need and can range from $100 in the first year of application to a maximum of $1,225. The bursary was created to help students minimize any accumulated interest debt on a bank loan. To qualify, a student must have borrowed from a lending institution and paid interest. Applications are available from www.redeemer. ca/finaid and are due in mid-March. The student must submit documentation of being in receipt of a bank loan. Awards, Bursaries and Scholarships Redeemer has established a number of scholarships, bursaries and awards to recognize academic success and provide financial assistance to students. A scholarship is awarded solely on the basis of academic merit; a bursary is awarded on the basis of criteria which includes financial need; an award can combine a variety of criteria including grades, program and other specific requirements. Students are eligible for scholarships, bursaries and awards (hereafter referred to as awards) only when they are enrolled full-time in a degree program. Calculation of GPA for All Awards Eligibility for awards is based on full-time enrolment (4 courses or 12 credit hours) in both terms of an academic year at Redeemer University College. Grade point average (GPA) calculation is based on the previous year’s academic average (fall and winter term, full-time studies only), with the following consideration granted: • Students with Disabilities: Those students who have a disability and are enrolled in 60% of a full course load will be eligible for full consideration for all awards. Each student’s situation will be reviewed on an individual basis. • For students who begin full-time studies in the winter term, eligibility for all awards offered in the next year will be based on the one-term average only. Disbursement of Awards All awards are disbursed 50% in the fall term and 50% in the winter term. To receive the full value of any award, a student must be enrolled in a minimum of 4 courses (12 credit hours) in each term. A student who has received an award and enrols in 3 courses (9 credit hours) in one term will receive the award on a pro-rated basis (60% of the award total) unless otherwise stated in the conditions of the specific award. Students who are academically eligible for awards, but who will not be paying full-time tuition due to pre-paid courses, will be eligible for a percentage of their award in proportion to the number of courses that must be paid for. For example, a student who needs to complete ten courses, eight of which are pre-paid courses, is eligible to be considered for one-fifth of a full award. Deferral of Awards: Students who take a year-long leave from their program at Redeemer will have their Redeemer University College Scholarship reinstated upon return, assuming that the student does not complete any additional post-secondary studies. Students who withdraw during the academic year forgo all awards for that year. Named awards will not be deferred except as follows: • A student who is in the third year of the Business Co-op program will be granted 50% of the award in the fall term, and the residual will be credited to the student’s account in the fall term of his or her fourth year. • A student who is in the fifth and final year of the Business Co-op program and returns for the winter term will be granted the full amount of any named award in the final term, assuming full-time enrolment. • A student who is enrolled in the Environmental Studies program and who completes the required minimum of two courses at AuSable during the summer and in the following fall or winter term registers in a minimum of 3 courses (9 credit hours) will be eligible for the full amount of any named award. However, Redeemer University College Scholarships (page 27) will normally be pro-rated for a 3 course (9 credit hours) term. • Business Co-op Program: Eligibility for all awards in year four will be determined based on the one-term of full-time studies in year three. • Approved Off-Campus Programs: Courses completed at an approved full-term (fall or winter term) off-campus study program (currently Crandall-Oxford, Redeemer in France, Dordt Netherlands Semester, and the CCCU programs), together with one term of full-time studies at Redeemer, will be used to create a year GPA for award eligibility. However, letter of permission courses and spring/ summer courses (including those completed at Redeemer or through summer off-campus programs) are not included in the average. 26
