An Important Message About Government Loans & Bursaries
Hello Class of 2020!
The Quebec Government Loans and Bursaries Program for 2020-21 is now open. Students who are pursuing post-secondary studies can apply on-line for financial assistance at:
http://www.afe.gouv.qc.ca/en/news/all-news/detail/you-can-fill-out-your-2020-2021-application-for-student-financial-assistance-online-as-of-today/
Although there is much uncertainty ahead, you are encouraged to apply for financial assistance as if you were attending classes "in person" in the fall, understanding of course, that your application and any financial support can be modified by the government based on future realities.
I recommend that you begin by reviewing the eligibility criteria at:
https://www.quebec.ca/en/education/student-financial-assistance/loans-bursaries-full-time-studies/eligibility-requirements/
Then, move on to the Assessment Simulator, where you can get an "unofficial" estimate of your government financial support.
https://www.quebec.ca/en/education/student-financial-assistance/loans-bursaries-full-time-studies/assessment/assessment-simulator/
Finally, a downloadable application guide is available at:
http://www.afe.gouv.qc.ca/fileadmin/AFE/documents/Publications/AFE/PUBL_Aide_votre_portee_2020_2021_A.pdf

March 27th, 2020 - Message for Class of 2020
Hello Class of 2020!
I hope everyone is doing well during the current school shutdown. I just wanted to take a moment to assure you that the College admission process is continuing as usual during these most unusual times. Many of you may have already received decisions from the colleges or will be shortly, as the decision deadline for all schools served by SRAM is April 3rd. For those who have been accepted ... CONGRATULATION!!! Please follow the directions included with your acceptance and make sure to confirm your offer of admission and pay any fees (if applicable) by the required deadline. If you were not accepted in Round #1 (SRAM applications only), you will be invited to participate in Round #2. This is a new choice and you can apply to any school served by SRAM. Please ensure that there is still space in the program and that you have the required prerequisites. There is no additional fee for Round #2 and the application deadline is April 22, 2020 @11:59 pm. Rest assured that the Class of 2020 will be supported throughout the entire College Application process. I can be reached via email at sangelopoulos@nfsb.qc.ca should you require further assistance. Stay safe, Spiro Angelopoulos. CVR School Counselor March 26th, 2020 - Educational Foundation Update
Dear CVR Graduates,
In light of the current events related to COVID-19 and school closures, the deadline for Round #2 of the applications for bursaries and scholarships is postponed. We will re-evaluate and communicate a new deadline as soon as more information becomes available regarding the return to school. Feel free to complete your applications but we ask that you hold on to them at this point. If you have any questions, you may send an email at cvredfoundation@gmail.com. Stay home and stay safe! C.

A New Mural in the Library!
This week, CVR students were joined by artists from the art collective En Masse Pour Les Masses, to create a mural inspired by our new school motto, I'm in Charge of My Learning. And in charge, they were! 18 CVR students worked together to brainstorm, plan, and paint the mural, with guidance from the artists. The mural is now on display in our library for all to see. A big congrats to everyone who took part! You should be very proud of yourselves for creating such an impressive and expressive piece.
