Copies are still just 5 ¾ Cents each. Visit http://www.busu.net/office for more information or to purchase a copy card.

Financial Aid

The Emergency Student Loan Program was initiated by 1992 by the Brock University Students’ Union to provide interim assistance to student who slipped between the cracks of the federal and provincial student aid programs. The E.S.L Program’s initial mandate is to help students through a difficult gap between when bills have to be paid and when their student loan is available. In today’s political climate, marred by tuition hikes and high unemployment rates, B.U.S.U recognizes the need for an encompassing Emergency Student Loan Program.
