4 Reasons Why a Scholarship at Alexander College Can Save You Money

Studying in Canada nowadays is expensive, often time-consuming and to top it off student debt levels are consistently increasing. In fact, on average, a four-year program in Canada costs roughly $60,000 when you include school supplies, housing and various other expenses. The average student debt is roughly $28,000 and can take up to 14 years to pay back!

Students in Canada should therefore be searching for ways to save themselves money when it comes to their post-secondary education. Here are a few reasons why a scholarship at Alexander College can benefit you while also cutting down on costs:

1. Alexander College is designed as a transfer school:
Getting your first two years of education at Alexander College allows you to transfer all your credits and courses to other BCCAT institutions such as UBC, SFU, UVic or Douglas College. The transfer process is quick and easy, allowing students to complete their undergraduate degree in as little as four years. Transfer students also apply to university as a transfer student rather than as a high school applicant; this means lower GPA requirements and a simpler application process.

2. There are 15 Scholarships Available:
Yes! 15! That means that we are offering FIFTEEN students the chance to attend Alexander College to earn the first 30 credits for free!

3. Eligibility is Not Based on Grades Alone:
Your high-school grades weren’t the best? That’s okay, we also look into your past achievements and volunteer work, among other things.

4. Alexander College is a BCCAT accredited institution:
The classes taught at Alexander College have been evaluated and accredited by the same institution as other BCCAT institutions, and are sometimes taught by the same instructors! This means that students can save on the expensive tuition of the larger universities and still get the same education for their first two years of study.
