We’re sharing an open letter addressed to Minister Sawhney from student organizations representing over 150,000 students across Alberta. This letter raises concerns about the ongoing delays in Alberta Student Aid disbursements for the second year in a row, which have affected students relying on financial aid for essential living and academic expenses.
While we appreciate the Ministry’s efforts to address the backlog and return to regular processing times, the student community is advocating for long-term, structural changes to prevent future delays. The letter outlines key concerns and recommendations for the future of Alberta Student Aid.
You can read the full letter here and stay updated as we continue to push for improvements that ensure financial aid remains reliable for all students.
