Few postsecondary graduates in Prince Edward Island are taking advantage of the province’s Programme de bourse pour réduction de dette, a bursary program that reduces debt for graduates, reports Radio-Canada. In the 2024–25 fiscal year, the Government of Prince Edward Island reportedly only disbursed $552K of the budgeted $980K. According to Radio-Canada, this means that the number of scholarships awarded by the program has decreased by 50% over the last 10 years. UPEI Students Association VP of External Relations Erica Kyalo explained that many students are unaware of the program, stating that she hopes that the province will work with UPEI and Holland College to promote the program.
