Another Block falls into Place

As we began the process of applying for a Provincial Charter four years ago, several factors helps to convince us our pursuit was correct. There are several things that are almost universal needs in the life of a student, regardless of the school they attend. If a student is from "out of Province" but is Canadian the best option for them in the area of insurance is to keep their home province's coverage. Unfortunately, because we were not a "designated school" our students wee forced to change to the insurance provided by BC. That almost guaranteed an increase. If a student was from another country and happened to be married with children, they would have to apply for and pay for study permits for the children too. Also at great expense.

After our charter was passed, we began the process of becoming a "designated school" and today we received notice that we made it! Praise the Lord! The most obvious outcome of being on the "list" is we are approved for government student loans. We don't necessarily encourage student to use this method for their whole education because it really is affordable if a part-time job is found. But just to know the option is there adds to our potential.

So rejoice! Another block falls into place.
