    To learn is to change. Education is a process that changes the learner. - Anonymous

  • Elaine Maxwell: My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.

    Elisabeth Kubler-Ross: I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime.

  • William James: The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude.

    H. H. the Dalai Lama: To be aware of a single shortcoming in oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in someone else.

  • Frank Lloyd Wright: The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.

    H.H. the Dalai Lama: The basic thing is that everyone wants happiness, no one wants suffering. And happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy.

  • Bernice Johnson Reagon: Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.

    Franklin D. Roosevelt: When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.

  • I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” -- Michael Jordan

    Elizabeth Stone: Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body.

    "The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change." -- Carl Rogers

  • All of us do not have equal talent, but all of us should have an equal opportunity to develop our talent.
-- John F. Kennedy

    Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
-- Gandhi

  • Nelson Mandela: Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

Student Loans

Government of Saskatchewan
Student Financial Assistance

 

Student loan applications typically become available sometime in June.  It is in a student’s best interest to attend a student loan presentation in their school as well as to obtain last year’s application form before the new ones come out in June.  The reason is that you can start filling it out and ask questions in trouble areas before you actually have to submit the real thing.  Be proactive in your planning and pay attention to details when completing the applications.

News Release from August 2009:

  • Lists many new enhancements to the student financial assistance programs.  These changes are especially beneficial to low and middle income families.
  • “Our government is committed to ensuring Saskatchewan people have access to the education, skills training and resources they need to build their careers and their futures,” Advanced Education, Employment and Labour Minister Rob Norris said. “These enhancements to student loans will support  students from low- and middle-income families to do just that.” (News release June 2, 2009).
