$200,000 more in student funding made available by Olds College

Students from the Central Alberta region or students entering Olds College’s Business Administration Program will now find entry into the world of post-secondary education that much easier thanks to $200,000 in entrance awards recently approved by the college’s board. Upon admission, students will be eligible for a $1000 award to be applied towards their tuition.

“Given the success of last year’s Entrance Awards program, we were pleased to renew it for the upcoming year” says Jeff Suderman, Olds College Director of Student Recruitment. “Our goal is to make Olds College accessible to students who are beginning their studies or upgrading their skills.”

This awards package was also created as part of Olds College’s ongoing work within the Alberta Government’s Roles and Mandates policy framework, which seeks to align educational institutions with their target constituencies – in this case both Central Alberta and the province as a whole.

Additional entrance awards are being provided for athletes who will play on an Olds College Bronco team next fall.

Students seeking more information on the entrance awards will be able to access details at www.oldscollege.ca/entranceawards.

Deadline for applications is August 15, 2010.
