The Government of Québec will end the Perspective Québec scholarship program early, bringing it to a close this Winter instead of in the Fall. Initially implemented in 2021, this provincial scholarship program provided financial aid to students in disciplines facing labour shortages, such as health and education. QC said that the changing economic context has prompted it to prioritize other solutions that promote professions in the public services, such as by improving working conditions and salaries. Université Laval has asserted that the withdrawal of this program will have a negative impact on student success. ULaval is accordingly urging the provincial government to reinvest the funds into other student financial aid measures.
