    Introduction
    A recent survey by the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation indicated that 90 per cent of parents assumed that their children would receive some form of government loan. Typically, however, only 50 to 60 per cent of students qualify for the loans. The survey also found that two-thirds of parents thought their children would receive entrance scholarships, though ordinarily such awards go to only one-third of students.

    Planning for the cost of post-secondary education is extremely important and can't be left to your last year of secondary school. For many students, savings from summer and part-time jobs and contributions from parents and others won't provide enough money to cover the costs of their post-secondary education. Additional funding in the form of student loans, scholarships, and other awards should be explored.
