Alum Success

Maria DiValentin

"I chose to transfer to Lake Superior State University because of the personal attention I would receive. I did not want to attend a large university where I would be a number lost in the masses. The well-rounded curriculum allowed me to obtain my position at John Deere. Having a good balance of theory and hands-on knowledge is critical for my position and Lake State gave me a good foundation in these skills."

Canadian Student Loans

Canadian students who need financial help to enable full-time studies directed toward a degree at an institution of higher education may apply for aid through the Ontario Student Assistance Program.

To qualify for a loan, the student must:

be a Canadian citizen or have landed immigrant status;
be a resident of a province that participates in the plan;
have attained a satisfactory scholastic standard;
be enrolled, or qualified to enroll in a post-secondary course of studies;
be a full-time student;
send a confirmation of program information form and a copy of social insurance number card with the application.

The loans are interest free for full-time students and until six months after graduation or termination of full-time studies. After the interest-free period has expired, students are responsible for the repayment of principal and the interest on the outstanding balance at a loan rate in effect when the loan was taken.

Application forms are available from Student Awards Branch, Ministry of Education and Training, P.O. Box 189 Red River Road, 4th Floor, Thunder Bay, Ontario P7B 6G9. Telephone 1-800-645-3013.
