[BCMA] Funding Notification More But Less...... a question to you...

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

We at the Oliver & District Heritage Society had the same experience. We had
our funding approved for the one student we wanted, but for 10 weeks instead
of 16. It seems that many organizations are only getting 10 weeks this year.


 

While we can provide a few extra weeks this year, if this continues it's
going to be a deterrent to students wanting to apply, as most of our summer
staff come from other cities. I'm sure that few students can afford to move
here for just 10 weeks.

We got the one student we asked for, but for only ten weeks instead of the
14 we usually get. We have no choice but to accept; ten weeks funded is
still easier on tight budgets than no weeks funded.

Hi Everyone,

 

We just got our official CSJ notification for 4 students. but for less money
than we got last year for 3 students. Last year it was 3 students for 14
weeks, this year it is 4 students for 9 weeks.

 

Frankly I cannot see how we can accept this offer. We already top up the
wage and pay all the MERC's, and usually extend the students a couple of
extra weeks. As we are also a visitor centre, each student is required to
take about a two week training program to get their provincial travel
counsellor certificate.

 

Based on this offer from the feds,  at best I think we could afford to  hire
2 students and then extend and top up for 14-16 weeks.

 

So I am curious, have other of you found that your offer from CSJ  this year
is similar to ours, with more students but significantly less weeks?

 

Cheers

Lee
